Thai police arrest man smuggling semen into Laos

[misskit]

Thai police have arrested a man attempting to smuggle six vials of human semen into Laos.

Authorities found a nitrogen tank containing the vials in the man's bag when he was crossing the border at the northern Thai town of Nong Khai.

Police said the man confessed that the semen was bound for a fertility clinic in the capital of Laos - Vientiane.

Laos has seen a boom in commercial surrogacy after neighbouring Thailand and Cambodia banned the practice.

The semen was collected from Chinese and Vietnamese men, police said.

The smuggler, a Thai national, told police he had done 12 similar trips in the past year where he would collect semen from Bangkok clinics and transport them to the clinic in Laos, reported The Bangkok Post newspaper.

He said he had also done several deliveries to a hospital in Cambodia, the paper reported.

In 2015, Thailand banned foreigners from paying Thai women to act as surrogates following a string of scandals in the once thriving industry. Cambodia followed with a total ban last year.

This has coincided with a rise in the number of Laos-linked surrogacy agencies and fertility clinics, reported AFP news agency.

Why don't they use the good old fashoined way of depositing their semen into the surrogate mothers? It's just simply wierd to be carrying other mens jizz around with you. What kind of world are we living in when we take out the best part of making a baby and start carrying bottles of jizz and eggs about and leaving it up to mad scientist to make fertilized eggs. Jeez, they'll be cloning us next.

I have a female friend who many years ago imported frozen semen from the US to Canada. She stopped her car at the border and declared the frozen semen to Canada Customs. When they asked what was the purpose of the importation she said for personal consumption. Apparently it took the whole office 5 minutes before normal service could resume.

I smuggled some semen into a hotel near Soi Cowboy in 1992. My Taiwanese gf didn't want me even stopping off in Thailand on my way back to OZ, but I managed to convince her it was just a shopping trip.

It never ceases to amaze me, how the Thai police always manage to (supposedly) get the busted perps to readily confess "everything" they've ever done,...duh!...and,...then get the same busted perps to snitch on "everyone" they've ever worked with, in the past. Huh?

The F.B.I. & Scotland Yard could definitely learn a (interrogation tactics) thing or three, from the phenomenal Thai police. Wow!

Fertility clinic denies surrogacy speculation in humam semen seized at border checkpoint

A fertility treatment and pregnancy clinic in Bangkok yesterday reiterated that the human sperm in nytrogen tank belonged to its customer in Laos while strongly dismissing speculation that it was meant for surrogacy.

The clinic, Superior ART, in Bangkok came out to defend itself after it was implicated as one of the clinics that owned tubes of human semen contained in nytrogen tank and which was seized by custom officials at border checkpoint in Nong Khai.
Under the new surrogacy law, any doctor or person performing unauthorised surrogacy faced both jail sentence and fine. Violator could also face revocation of business and occupational license.

The arrested man, 25-year-old Nithinon Srithaniyanan, carried six tubes of what he claimed was human semen bound for Vientiane in Laos.

Investigation by police and health authorities linked the semen to four clinics in Bangkok, one of them is Superior ART.

Superior ART managing director Sarayuth Assamakorn admitted that two tubes of sperms in the nitrogen tank which were seized on the way to Laos belonged to its customer.

He recalled that his clinic has taken care of a couple – Chinese wife and Vietnamese husband since early this year.

But until mid this month a Thai nominee was authorized by the couple to get the semen with unknown reason.

He said the request was the normal right of the customer, adding the clinic then had prepared the document for the sperm.

He said throughout over a decade in the clinic business, his clinic has never involved with the surrogacy, with 80 per cent of his customers are in ASEAN and the rest are Thais.

He said it only served the customers for embryo transfer, artificial insemination and storage services for human semen, eggs or embryos.

He affirmed that there was no human semen, eggs or embryos trading although some foreigners have offered as high as 15,000 baht per tube.

Meanwhile Dr Kamthorn Pruksananonda from the Committee on Protection for Children Born Through Assisted Reproductive Technologies, said that anyone who performed the process and procedures related to the transfer of semen, egg or embryo which involved with the unauthorized surrogacy, whether the person was doctor or not, that person could be prosecuted under the Surrogacy Act.

For repeated offence, violators could face revocation of their licenses.

Meanwhile the Royal Thai College of the Obstetricians and Gynaecologists RTCOG believed that the liquids in the seized nitrogen tank were not semen but may be embryos which were ready to inject into mother’s body for pregnancy.

The college said the process to collect semen was not complicated just bring the sperm to mix with the fixer and keep in the container under minus 190 degree Celsius which could keep the sperm for decade. But the process to prepare embryo and its storage were not easy and Thailand was considered the number one in ASEAN.
