Good work if you can get it

According to an article in The Economist on the latest trends in artificial conception, a California sperm bank, one of the most respected institutions in the field, pays $75 for a male sample, with premiums for things like high test scores and advanced degrees. (For what it's worth, they turn around and sell the samples for $240 to $400, depending on sperm count.)

If I didn't have ethical objections, I would be there in a heartbeat. As part-time jobs go, that one would have to be at or near the top of my list.

I considered creating a label for "sperm donation," but ultimately decided against it.
