Production companies True Entertainment and Brighter Pictures are developing a reality show where male contestants would compete to become a sperm donor for a female who wants to bear a child. This show would come from those behind "Big Brother."
They failed to get European channels to pick up the show after pro-life groups protested. The concept was nicknamed “Make Me a Mum." A Dutch MP was inflamed enough to call for a government investigation. Whether US networks bite is a question.
To try to woo US channels, they are pitching the idea of using microscopic cameras to show the egg being fertilized by the sperm. Now the question is if such an idea will see the furor sparked by the Fox show "Who's Your Daddy."
