No. 1: The Genetic Parent
Mike Rubino, 47, artist, sperm donor, father of untold numbers of children
I might have 10 kids, or I might have 50 kids. I have no idea. For sure I know about seven kids through six different mothers who live in six different states, from New York to Hawaii. I donated sperm once or twice a week for about five years in the early 1990s. Before that, I was one of those people who spent their life savings on fertility treatments, trying to get my ex-wife pregnant, to no avail. She was infertile, but I wasn't. We felt that by donating, I could help couples going through what we went through, plus pay for groceries for the week. Each time I gave a sample, I was aware, Wow, there could be a child produced from this. And I told the sperm bank I was open to having contact with any of them after they turned 18.

Could this be Larry’s new revenue source?

The 4th story in the series is inspiring.
Yes, but - but - but - but - I can’t get over the sperm donor.
Colony collapse!
It’s really troubling how many females feel entitled to be single mothers, by using sperm from an anonymous male.
This is where the use of technology without values takes you. Rather than having any value for mothers and fathers, the use of sperm banks for single females is using IVF technology without values. The operators of these places have decided that they will not make any value judgements or hurt the self esteem of any females who want a baby without a man.
There was even a court case filed by a lesbian who was denied sperm at an IVF facility. My, my, no way can we have any values that you should be part of a husband/wife couple, no way Jose.
Why do so many yuppie females reach a certain age, without a man in their life, and decide they are entitled to have a baby no matter what? There is a reason why two parents produce a baby, because two parents are better than one when it comes time to raise children.
If I was younger, I wouldn’t walk in the same room with Mike Rubino! He sounds like a potent man who could just look at someone, and it’s BINGO.
Yuck.
“”” like a potent man”””
What has been unconscionable (since the 60’s) has been the fertility experimental centers paying immature men to ejaculate sperm into vials with undetermined result.
We can expect that there are millions of humans walking around - of unknown parentage. The odds of them having children with their half-siblings is also unknown.
I find that appalling.
Yes, the 4th story is inspirational. Especially since the other ones are sickening. The Harvard prof was really the worst. His children would have been better off with an anonymous sperm donor.
If Rubino has fathered 50 children, I still think he has to be potent! :)
Posted today - this other interesting thread. Which shows how unnatural our society has become.

The doctors told the man he was impotent. So the man went out and bought a new suit. His wife asked him why he bought the suit. He replied “Well, the doctor told me i’m impotent, so i figured i might as well look impotent”.
budumpbump.
he he he.....good one
Wow....and can you imagine being a mom with it and having to care for 2 children who also have it? That has to be horrible!!
ROFLOL...just what this thread needed...a good laugh!
Welcome to the weird world!
LOL
“”What is this world coming too?””
Does this help?

A SICILIAN mother took away her 61-year-old son’s house keys, cut off his allowance and hauled him to the police station because he stayed out late...............
Most Italian men still live at home late into their 30s, enjoying their “mamma’s” cooking, washing and ironing.
Now THAT'S funny.
But yeah.
Wow! Sperm donation - I’d never heard that as a possible colony collapse theory! I’ll have to tell my daughter, the beekeeper, that one.
