The genetics of getting sperm from an artificial insemination of a close relative are the exact same as getting pregnant through sex with said person. Though most of the time, the sperm bank gives kids problems by not realizing the donor and the recipient are closely related. A person who donates many times also unwittingly creates a place where people are know half-siblings without realizing it.

I get that. But "accidental incest" wouldn't be something normal, even if it is possible, right?

The article says the egg was donated, but if it says who it was donated from, I missed it.

Do women donate eggs like a man would donate sperm? Surely not... a man's donation doesn't involve surgery.

So, I guess the question is who did he get to donate the egg?

I'm sympathetic to traditional couples who want a baby, but I'm not sure these methods would be something I'd want personally.
