Does this mean that people who donated sperm thinking it was anonymous are now having these records revealed? That's pretty fucked up, if you ask me. If the legislation is going to change, the least they can do is at least make it only count for future donations, so those who donated under the promise of anonymity aren't hung out to dry. That's a good point. It has to be for future donations only. Without guaranteed anonymity I'm sure many of the donations wouldn't have been made in the first place. Like my dad always said, "You can't change the rules in the middle of the game." | ||

So ya, top notch. P.S. Don't be a dick. | ||

I don't think someone should suffer or die just because a promise of anonymity was once made. You make it seem like that's now an obligation to the donor and the donor's family. | ||

You asked them to give sperm and they have to live with the thought of having a child somewhere and promised anonymity and didn't live up to it. This is bad. | ||

I can agree about anonymous donating becoming forbidden, the people involved then knows the deal. They would then know they might become responsible for the child in a worst case scenario (which they then can give up to the state if they want to). I myself wouldn't try to find out my parent. But there seems to be a lot of people that value an unknown a lot... | ||

They would have to be grandfathered in to the system as exceptions, so to speak. That would only be fair, from the sound of the original contract. | ||

I've signed up to donate at least once a week, which is what I usually do. If the gf isn't around for the week I try to get in two. You have to "abstain" for 48+ hours beforehand to ensure that there's enough vials to use. This means someone with no sex life and no jerking it could go as many as 3 times a week (mon/weds/fri) but that would be maximum. There's also an overall limit as to how many times you can donate, the explanation of which takes a bit. Generally it's about a year and a half averaging 2 times a week, I think. But yeah, 5k a year for 15 minutes a week is really good spending money. Also -- you should probably throw out that towel. | ||

So ya, top notch. P.S. Don't be a dick. You sit in your room and post about jerking off on internet forums, top notch. Do you also excel at spelling? How tall is tall? How thin is thin? How much of your family is a majority? How fast is your metabolism? Do you realize that you're run-of-the-mill when it comes to the nerds that post on these forums? I bet you knew that bragging is a popular mechanism for coping with insecurity. You posted this to let us know that people carrying top notch genetic material are usually insecure about it, right? Because we didn't realize how insecure people with the best genetic makeup are... especially when there's a discussion concerning genetic makeup. Thank you for the information. Please feel free to continue updating us with more as you see fit. Sperm donors have a right to anonymity as should be granted by the agreement under which they donate. Since when do children have the "right" to know who their biological parents are? | ||

I thought I was giving some insight into a unique view on sperm donation, but I guess jealousy prevails... | ||
