Redheaded men are being turned away as sperm donors — because demand for their progeny is so low.
Ole Schou, director of Cryos in Denmark, the world’s biggest sperm bank, said the facility had become so successful it was now much more selective about choosing donors. . . .
‘There are too many redheads in relation to demand,’ Mr Schou told the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet.
‘I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner —for example, the sterile male — has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads.
‘And that’s perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case.’
Just because they’re freaks of nature . . .

Are you saying free market principles are cruel?
This is indeed cruel. Fewer redheaded fathers means fewer redheaded women.
IYKWIMAITTYD.
Don’t those heathen Eurotrash realize this could diminish the frequency of Laura Prepon? What is wrong with these people?

Ahem, the requirement is clear! We must require all women seeking artificial insemination to have some from a redheaded man mixed in. It’s the only way to ensure equality!

I applaud the Dutch for their bravery in taking on The Red-Headed Menace [Redhad] while fighting against The Moahmmedin Menace [Jihad].
Oh! I forgot: Vlaams Belang too!
Being married to a ginger, this makes me very sad.
How can that be, too many?
There is only 3% of the population of america made up of red heads/
yes, 10% in Ireland, 13% in Scotland.
We’re up for extinction!!
You can only have red hair if both parents posses a malfuntioning genetic marker, MR-1. The chances that a single woman without red hair would have a child with red hair are not that good.
Who wouldn’t want more of us, just look at the line waiting to donate to the red head stock, determination, dedication….we don’t die, we multiply! lol
I read that redheads will soon disappear because redheaded populations have fewer children, and it’s a recessive gene.
I guess nobody in Denmark wants a “redheaded devil” for a child.
