Il s’appelle Ari Nagel, il a 48 ans, il vit aux États-Unis et est donneur de sperme. Père biologique de 165 enfants à travers le monde, le presque cinquantenaire a annoncé bientôt prendre sa retraite.

If some people can compare the life of this American to that of a character in the movieStarbuck, However, this is indeed the reality of Ari Nagel. The 48-year-old man, who lives in Brooklyn, is the biological father of 165 children around the world, said he would stop his sperm donor activity soon, he told New York Post.

The risks of continuing

At the time of Father's Day, Ari Nagel indicated that he would soon take his "retirement". "I will stop when I’m 50. Physically I can continue, but there may be increased risks of autism in older men" , he told the American press.

The one who is nicknamed "Sperminator", would still get news of his descendants. It keeps the dates of birth (and therefore birthday), names, but also the addresses and telephone numbers of "his" children. "Some mothers don't want me to play a role, but I give them the opportunity to change their mind, and most do so once the child is a little older and starts asking questions", was he justified.

He even shares photos on his social networks with these young people when he meets them.

If he stops in almost two years, no less than ten women are currently pregnant with him in the United States, Canada, Asia, Africa or even in Europe.

In France, this practice is much more regulated, with a limit of children from the same sperm donor of 10 by the bioethics law, details the Agency biomedicine.
