A man who goes around the world getting women pregnant plans to have 2,500 kids.
A man from the US is going around the world to get women pregnant. He wants to have 2,500 children.
Since 2008, he has been giving his sperm to people all over the world under the name "Joe Donor." He says he is the father of more than 160 children.
Joe has kids in America, the UK, Italy, Singapore, the Philippines, and Argentina. He has also been to Singapore, the Philippines, and the Philippines.
Women reach out to him through social media, and he offers them a variety of ways to get pregnant. These include having sex, which is the traditional way, partial intercourse (sex without kissing), and artificial insemination. If asked, he will send his sperm with a delivery service that arrives the next day.
In exchange, he doesn't charge a fee but asks the people he helps to pay for his own costs.
In 2019, he was asked by 60 Minutes Australia if there could be "too many little Joes." He said, "No, I did the math, and in the United States I would have liked a limit of maybe 2,500." I'm not even close to that. So there won't be any trouble."
He also said, "I'm getting about 10 a year on average." I hope to live that long, but I doubt it."
But even though Joe says he is helping people out of the goodness of his heart, others have criticized what he is doing.
Stephen Paige, a lawyer and family and fertility expert, said, "He's really playing God, and he shouldn't be playing God to desperate women and their kids.
"I just think he's crazy and dangerous, and these women shouldn't go anywhere near him."
Concern has also been raised about how he feels about health checks and screenings.

"They want to do a background check and a drug test on some people. And I said, "You know you're not giving me the keys to the nuclear missiles; we're just having a baby," Joe said.
Joe lives in the UK right now, and on his Facebook page, he says he can help with a baby anywhere in the country.
In an August post, he said, "You could get pregnant right now without any counseling, a weirdo in a lab coat looking at your hoohaw, or a second mortgage on your house. Just send me a private message, and your baby will be on the way soon."
"I can help you anywhere in the UK. Send me a private message right now to be next."
But Paige, who is an expert on fertility and a lawyer, told people not to use his unregulated services.
He asked, "Why would you want to give birth to a child who has 100 siblings?"
"This isn't a soccer club or a group for the community. It's nothing like that. These are your half brothers and sisters.
"And you're going to spend the rest of your life trying to figure out where you belong in the world. Then you'll ask, "Why did my parents do that to me?"
