Telegram founder offers free sperm for IVF

Pavel Durov has teamed up with AltraVita fertility clinic in Moscow, Russia, to offer free IVF to women under 38; but only if they use his sperm. Durov, billionaire founder and CEO of the messaging app Telegram, claimed this year that he had already fathered over 100 children through sperm donation in 12 countries. He now wants to ‘open-source’ his DNA to make it easier for his biological children to find each other. Durov is offering to fund IVF for women in his home country, Russia, through AltraVita clinic in Moscow. AltraVita specifically reference on their website that treatment would be with Durov’s ‘donated’ sperm, and it appears that Dubrov does not intend to undertake legal or financial responsibility for any children conceived. The AltraVita website describes this as a ‘one of a kind’ opportunity to undergo free IVF using sperm from ‘one of the most famous and successful entrepreneurs of our time.’ The clinic website read: ‘It is a very generous contribution to society from someone who wants to help those dreaming of becoming parents.’ The clinic does not provide any specific details about the screening or donation process for Durov’s sperm. According to AltraVita’s website, all sperm donors undergo medical and psychological examination in accordance with Ministry of Healthcare regulations, and all donor sperm is tested for infectious diseases including HIV. In a post published on on his platform, Telegram, in July 2024, Durov said that when he first donated 15 years ago, ‘The boss of the clinic told me that “high quality donor material” was in short supply and that it was my civic duty to donate more sperm to anonymously help more couples.’ This is not the first example of a high-profile donor expressing an interest in having many biological children. In 2023, Dutch courts banned Jonathan Meijr from donating sperm, following claims that he fathered over 500 children. The story was covered in the Netflix documentary, ‘The Man with 1000 Kids’, which highlighted difficulties in tracking donors internationally. Durov expressed his intention to encourage sperm donation more widely. He said in a Telegram post, ‘The shortage of healthy sperm has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide, and I’m proud that I did my part to alleviate it… I also want to destigmatise the whole notion of sperm donation and incentivise more healthy men to do it, so that families struggling to have kids can enjoy more options.’ Durov left Russia and became a French citizen in 2021, after refusing to comply with an investigation into the first social media site he founded, according to Forbes. He was arrested in France in August as part of an investigation into charges of enabling criminal activity on Telegram and is currently forbidden to leave the country. ,

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Worldwide Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has stated he drops off the toger of being Daddy GO in the private with his wife. The Octogenarian dropped this bombshell while advising clergymen to be romantic on his official X handle on Friday. According to the Clergy; “When we are alone, we are lovers, not Daddy G.O and Mummy G.O. Your marriage can be like heaven on earth if you and your spouse are deliberate about remaining the lovebirds that you were when you first got married. “Don’t let the romance die. “The fact that you are a Christian does not in any way take romance out of your marriage. Marriage is the only institution where romance and intimacy is allowed between a man and a woman. “Some pastors hardly go on dates with their spouses because they consider such a romantic activity as a distraction from their focus on spiritual matters. “Some of them don’t even play with their spouses anymore. Beloved, the anointing does not reduce the need for romance in marriage. “Isaac was an anointed man of God and a successful businessman, yet in Genesis 26:8, the Bible says he was being romantic with his wife: ‘And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.’ “Don’t become too rigid in your marriage; don’t have more fun elsewhere without your spouse. “Make the times that you and your spouse spend together so much fun that you are always looking forward to seeing each other again. “If you are married, remember how you used to talk for long hours with your spouse before you got married and had children; revive that relationship again. “Your spouse is still the same fellow you were very fond of, and the things you loved in him or her are still there. Don’t let all the cares of this life distract you from the gems in your spouse. “Once in a while, compose a poem for your spouse and read it to him or her in a romantic setting. Spice things up with pleasant surprises every now and then. Write a note and put it in his or her bag so that when they get to the office and open their bag, they will see the note and smile. “Have a pet name that you call each other behind closed doors. Up until today, there is a pet name my wife calls me when we are alone. I equally have a pet name that I call her, and every time I call her by that name, she cannot but smile at me lovingly. “One of the ways to ensure that your marriage remains like heaven on earth is to keep the romance alive.”
