Pavel Durov Launches IVF Initiative Amid Legal Issues

Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, is offering free in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments using his sperm at the Altravita fertility clinic in Moscow to address global fertility issues. The initiative targets women under 37 with satisfactory health conditions, and Durov is personally financing the procedures. With over 100 biological children from previous sperm donations, Durov aims to normalize sperm donation and tackle declining fertility rates. This move aligns him with tech figures like Elon Musk and Sam Altman, who are also addressing fertility concerns. Despite the initiative's intent, Durov remains under investigation in France and is banned from leaving the country. The program has generated significant public interest, according to the clinic.
