WA entrepreneur says his Just a Baby app has facilitated 1,000 births, but AMA urges caution

A West Australian man believes he has helped create about 1,000 babies across the globe through an app he dubs: "Tinder for wannabe parents". Key points: Paul Ryan from Denmark, WA has created an app to connect people who want to conceive a child It has 25,000 monthly users around the world The Australian Medical Association WA is urging users of the app to be safe and consult medical professionals "to make sure things are done properly" Paul Ryan is the founder of Just a Baby, which lets people swipe left and right to find a potential parenting partner. While different to the traditional way of conceiving a child, Mr Ryan says the app is about uniting people who want a baby and bringing it "back to the basics". Creating dads, not donors Mr Ryan said some people were choosing the app because, unlike sperm donor clinics, it allowed them to have contact with their child before they turned 18. Mr Ryan also said he was worried about "sex pests" pressuring women for sex through the app, but said there was a reporting system that could see people banned from the platform for life.
