America's hottest export? Sperm

Ella Rasmussen’s doctors started to prod her about children when she turned 30. She was single, suffered from endometriosis, and contemplated a hysterectomy. After several years, the nudges took hold. Because she wasn’t a good candidate to freeze only her eggs, she was advised to undergo IVF and freeze fertilized embryos.

(Snip)

"Her doctor made a recommendation: go American."

Go American for the best and brightest. And if you want to go even better - go Free Republic!

Headline: Newest export tax makes democratic party members go blind!

I’ve made $1000 for less than a pint.

So that’s what was meant by Clinton Global Initiative.

The article gives me the creeps.

Two TV shows, The Simpsons and Bevis and Butthead, both had episodes where total losers were donating at sperm banks to unsuspecting women.
Thankfully they are both cartoons and meant to be edgy but it made me wonder.

How often do you shave your palms?

Like those who go to the plasma clinics, I doubt you’d find much representation of high-paid well education professionals or mensa club members there among the donors.

Idiocracy also comes to mind. Basically, society treats all pregnancies as sperm donations where by fathers have zero rights to terminator or proceed but also virtually zero rights to determine their financial responsibility, which leads me to my first though about why American donors would be in demand... isn’t there a lot of precedent of the courts treating sperm donors as having financial and legal responsibilities to their genetic offspring? Isn’t this a potential anchor and payday opportunity for foreign recipients?

terminate*
haha, like a bizard freudian slip to call an abortion ‘terminator’! oh dear

Also, F.D. I did not click the link to read the article so I do not know if it covered legal inroads

God help us, that doesn’t make the offspring US citizens, does it?

[TwelveOfTwenty]

As if it wasn't bad enough that American men took themselves out of American families by shooting their sperm all over the landscape, now they are taking foreign men out of foreign families in the same manner.

Articles like this should be posted everywhere that men complain about being eliminated from the family by the biased family court system, so that the readers can be reminded of who the REAL culprits are.

I have been in Mensa (and Intertel and TOPS). I certainly have not done this.
