Well, I saw this article about a guy who donated sperm and ended up marrying the woman who carried his baby.
When we see articles like this we really do realise that the mainstream media is trying to sell us a bunch of crap about sperm donation.
It's the old bait and switch, now calling all lonely 20 - 30 year old guys, donate your sperm and maybe you've got a chance at the woman tracking you down and falling in love with you.
Either that, or you'll spend the next 18 years wondering where that woman you helped have a child went until you get a knock at the door from some child wanting to know who you are.
Do you think that we'd ever see any articles talking negatively about sperm donation?
Here's one about a woman who turned against her 'father' after she found out during an argument that she was conceived by IVF. Two things stand out to me in this article: the woman hates the man that raised her and treated her as his own and she hates the man who donated his sperm to give her life because she's unable to track him down.
Whilst I think the authors of this article think they're trying to argue the case that the abolishing of anonymous sperm donation is a good thing, but all it had me thinking was that if I were infertile I wouldn't want to resort to sperm donation because I could be dropped as 'father' as easily as a heated argument.
What a way to be remembered: you spent 20 of the best years of your life raising that were not biologically your own, but now they know they're not biologically yours, you're out of the picture.
The picture she paints leaves me with the same feeling I get when people talk about marrying women with children. At the end of the day you could do absolutely everything in the world for the child or children and you'll NEVER be their father and you're more than likely to never appear on their family tree except as a footnote for who their mother married. Is it really worth it?
It makes more sense as to why men are going their own way every day.
