"Those aren't the only two choices in this circumstance. There is another choice which was never ruled out by the article. The choice of the woman to have a real Father in the life of the child."
I know I went to public school, but I never read where the teenagers did or didn't have two parents. The story only dealt with the teenagers trying to find the sperm donor.
"Here lies the first ethical/moral fault in this circumstance"
You may disagree with the choice, but it has been made. Once again, if the mother had not used a sperm donor, these children would not exist. Given the two choices, I would have chosen to be born. I infer from your comments, that you would have not existed if your mother's only choice was to either use artificial insemination or not to have a child.
"You can drop the abortion discussion because neither one of us is speaking to it."
I didn't bring up the abortion issue, you had on an earlier post. I had stated the two choices were to be born or to never have existed. I think you equated never have existed with an abortion. Were typing about an hot issue and mistakes are made. Abortion isn't revelant in this spefic topic.
In a perfect world, the perfect choice is always available. In reality, these teenagers had only two options, their mother could use a sperm donor or the teenagers would never have existed. We don't know enough about each teenager and their history. They might all have parents and the fathers for a variety of reasons could not produce sperm or I'm sure a few have mothers who wanted to raise a child by themselves. We will never know since the story never addresses or discusses who raised the teenagers.
Well we know it wasn't the biological father, and for no good reason either.
In reality the mother could have married someone who could have been the father.
I do disagree with the choice, and you state the obvious when you state it is better the children existed but that fact cannot preclude the other fact that a poor decision was made in the first place.
