Sperm donating cancer

This is severely messed up.

What do people think about sperm donation when having kids?

If it's a single woman, that's fair enough, it's her call.

However I can't understand how any man would ever agree to have his wife or partner impregnated with another man's sperm.

If I was the "father", it would never truly feel like my child. I'd always have it in the back of my head that some other man had got my wife pregnant, and this was his child.

Some other man wouldn't have gotten your wife pregnant though, a fertility doctor would have done the procedure, using donor sperm. Neither the doctor nor the donor are the father of the child.

I think that some men are capable of accepting that this is their only option to have a child with their partner, and some aren't. I think if it doesn't sit right with you then you shouldn't do it.

The legislation in this area is utterly fucked though. It is getting better, but we still have such a long way to go. Even the idea that the donor can only be used for 4 families in Ireland is a matter of agreement between the clinics rather than the law. There is no way that shouldn't be codified.

I hear what you're saying but I dunno about that.

It's primal.

Gutteral.

I hate to put it this way... Not yours.

I've no issue with people doing it - it's their bodies, their lives, their families.


That child will never have your genes though. His blood will always be that of another man.

Do you understand why a man would have an issue with it being suggested as an option though?

Obviously I am not referring to myself. I am extremely fertile. 😎☃️
