LOL...but he and Amy Farrah Fowler did discuss IVF for the “betterment” of mankind. Shamy, Indeed! LOL

Working in IT, he’s probably high IQ, especially with the sense for contracts to not owe paternity. But his “fear of fumes and sunlight” looks like OCD, and he’s ugly. There are better sources of DNA.

Like about from 90% of the male population? Yep! High IQ without the ability to function in a one-on-one relationship could be a bit of a problem to his offspring.

He also insists on couples coming to his house so he can hand them the fresh sperm.

Hand them? As in ..oh skip it.

In the old days of sperm banks you had to make direct deposits only.

If he does it while smoking pot, does that make him a weed wacker?

Not to mention if one (or more) of the “donees” decide to go after him for child support.

[Daffynition]

...or just *SuperSperm*?

I saw what you did there.

Baldness is hereditary only through the mother.

[Slings and Arrows]

Best not to go there, you betcha.

Yeah, male pattern baldness is a recessive X chromo trait, so a male child cannot inherit it from his father, since boys only get a Y chromo from their fathers. A female child could inherit it from him, but since the trait is recessive, she would only become bald if she also got an X chromo from the mother with the same gene. Otherwise she’d just be a “carrier”, and could pass it on to her children. That’s the basis for the old wive’s tale about baldness skipping a generation.

[Boogieman]

Yes, and it is not that uncommon an occurence, especially with donor anonymity clauses and the fact that parents don’t necessarily tell their kids about their donor parents. Throw in the phenomenon of GSA, where people can be strongly attracted to close relatives that they did not know while they were growing up, and you have a recipe for incest.

[Slings and Arrows]

Agreed - he won’t be passing his baldness on to his children. His maternal grandfater’s baldness, possibly.
