I tried to be a sperm donor but they took one look at me and sent me packing :)
A Sperm donation is just a hand out.
That donor produces pretty women. But the fellows look, well, rather gay. Perhaps there really is a gay gene?
Also there seems to be a strain of neuroticism in there.
But that may also be all from the various mothers. The mothers too would have things in common, similar problems, to go the sperm donor route in the first place.
And then there is the problem of being fatherless.
What a pity. This is so wrong but hopefully, these innocent victims realize that they are all children of God .
Follow the money.
Years ago an acquaintance told me that while he had no moral qualms about donating, he was deathly afraid two of his children would marry without realizing they were related...
So, at these donor places, what do they do when a guy with no arms shows up?
Only 32?
Cecil Jacobson scoffs and says: “Amateur!”
If I were on the jury, the donor would be responsible for child support for all of them.
Now if I were a long range thinking NBA owner I would be propositioning LeBron and WNBA stars for contributions to my team 18 years from now. NBA players seem to have done pretty well on their own with the multiple father thing.
Damn..... 23 siblings
That’s almost as many as the bastard Jesse Jackson son
I’ve worked hard at marriage and family, and only have three kids to my name.
This guy is a genetic success story. As the saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat.”
And, he came by his success relatively honestly... at least in contrast to the IVF doctor who secretly used his own sperm on his patients, regardless of who they selected from the donor catalog.
It all starts with artificial contraception.
The sex act becomes recreational, separated from procreation, and procreation can be accomplished mechanically, without emotional attachment.
The Catholic Church has long warned against this, for exactly these reasons.
Children have the right to a mother & father who are present & involved in their upbringing.
Sadly, this young man has discovered that his "father" wasn't even thinking about children. He did what he did for the quick cash.
It was never a secret in my house that I was conceived with the help of an anonymous sperm donor. For a majority of my childhood, I never really thought about him. But when I was around 11, I went through a period of having questions. My parents — I have two mothers — gave me a photo copy of a questionnaire that was sent to them from the sperm bank they used, California Cryobank. The donor filled it out in 1996, two years before I was born.
At the age of 11, puberty, this boy sensed something in his life was missing in his life.
What was missing was a father.
A boy needs a father and knows this instinctually.
Even the most loving mother can't replace a male role model for a young boy. (Likewise for young girls and female role models).
There is a profound emptiness in his soul because he didn't have a father.
That's what this boy is talking about in his original essay.
He's deflecting this issue by talking about being 'mass produced'. This is a mask for having been denied growing up with a mother and a father.
I'd bet most children who are the result of sperm donation but have a mother and a father in the home do not think of themselves as mass produced.
Every story I've seen about this issue of multiple unknown siblings but grew up in, dare I say, a 'traditional home', the kids were happy to know they had brothers and sisters.
The FUNDAMENTAL issue for this young man is that he was the product of a lesbian couple who believed they could rear a male child WITHOUT A MAN.
He likely loves his two mothers and therefor can't emotionally direct his anger towards them.
His inner conflict is that although his two mothers may have loved him very much and gave him a good life, they also denied him a father.
The side articles to this article are... no words. None at all except that just the summary captions will haunt me for many days and it only took less than seconds to read them. They physically hit me.
While helping people get pregnant is a worthy and laudable goal.
For some strange reason it sounds like Chicago to me.
It’s all a horribly tangled web, with children as the main victims.
Thanks, sexual revolution.
