Man fathers 800 children, targets 1000

A certain Simon Watson, who claims to have fathered over 800 children, has stated that he won’t stop until he hits 1000.

Watson, 41, has been into the business of sperm donation for over 16 years.

He said he would love to meet the 1000 target before he dies.

Speaking with BBC, the unlicensed sperm donor said he doesn’t know most of his kids.

Watson said, “Usually one [baby] a week pops out. I reckon I’ve got about 800 so far, so within four years I’d like to crack 1,000. I’ve got kids all the way from Spain to Taiwan, so many countries. I’d like to get the world record ever, make sure no-one’s going to break it, get as many as possible.”

Research shows that very few women are eligible for artificial insemination on the National Health Scheme (NHS) as the criteria are very strict. Private licensed clinics cost between £500 and £1,000 for each cycle of treatment. Men are allowed to father no more than 10 children.

Watson charges £50 for his services – the “magic potion pot” – and most of his clients find him on Facebook.
