REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Bank of sperm, named Cryos, began to export sperms to about 80 countries for sale. The sperms were put into small bottles and were mostly bought by women who are still single.
Chairman of Youth Muhammadiyah, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, said the phenomenon of companies that sell sperms to be purchased by single women, was a contemporary phenomenon in Western society.
"The West has not made family as a sacred thing to build civilization," he said, Thursday (29/10).
Unlike the East community, he added, especially Muslims, family is placed in a sacred position. A family is formed not only in order to obtain offspring but to begin civilization.
"Hence, the practice of selling sperm is certainly forbidden. Muslim women are also forbidden to buy the sperm to have a child," Dahnil explained.
According to him, it was totally forbidden in Islam and also contrary to the culture of Indonesia.
