At birth the twin girls looked 40 years old.

Why didn’t they just use Hugh Hefner sperm, it is even older and colder!

Wait until the lawyers get finished. They will have the newborn filing for social security survivor benefits once they identify the late former owner of the specimen.

but, in fact, the Japanese American man IS still alive and technically there is no need for his “40 year old sperm” as he can provide a new “sample” today

apparently, he too wanted more than children from his “blood line; he wanted to be part of a “bigger story”

It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.

She has a way of striking back.

And the poor child. “Sweetie, you were a great little experiment.”

May be beneficial for people that suffer cancer and are unable to have children after chemo. I know a couple where the guy had some kind of disease as a child and they were unable to have a child. Ended up adopting a nephew from a troubled sister, but they could have easily raised a bunch more if nature didn’t conspire against them.

Generally, as long as the technology is used to bring children into the world, I consider it moral, there is no such thing as life unworthy of life.

Sperm produced by a man deteriorates with his age. What that means is that this man’s 40-year old sperm is likely to be of better quality (fewer abnormalities) than what the man produces currently.

Luddites don’t understand situations like that. For them, since the process is artificial, the child thus created is “unnatural” and does not deserve to exist. They’d rather curse the child than re-examine their dogma.

You already have someone commenting about how “aged” the newborns look, LOL.

I view it same as a child conceived in rape (a more extreme case), the sins of the father are not to be used against the child.

So it doesn’t matter at all to you how many of the fertilized eggs were dumped in the trash?

Do you know that they don’t fertilize just one egg, right? AND if there are more than one that makes it into the “lucky embryo club” the extras are just sucked out, right?

A comment at Mr. Smith’s blog pointed out that the gentleman now has daughters, not the Ichiro (Number One Son) he was hoping for. Best wishes to the little girls. I hope someone loves them.

Babies are not yarns. And those here who are disgusted by the creation of multiple babies for the one that makes it, are far from Luddites, looking out for their jobs.
