Sperm Donor Sued For Child Support
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 4-12-06 | Sun-Times

... Michael Wilford says he was simply a sperm donor. Christin Harris says he was much more than that to her.

Now, the Glenview woman wants him to provide child support and college fund and pay medical expenses for the 2-year-old twin daughters he fathered.

But the Downers Grove man says it's a case of "involuntary parentage" as he had no intention of doing anything more than provide his ex-girlfriend with the semen she needed to conceive. "No good deed goes unpunished," his attorney Enrico Mirabelli, said in court Tuesday.

'I Just Want Your Semen'

Wiford said he was asked to pay nothing toward the in-vitro fertilization or related pregnancy costs and the couple broke up three months after Harris gave birth and he was never asked to provide a thing or to act as a father."

"....She was a lady with a plan-and that plan wasn't marriage," Mirabelli said, "He trusted her, why?" Because she said " I Don't want anything from you. I just want your semen.."

There was a story a while back of a woman who went to a sperm bank, got pregnant, and the surreptitiously got the name of the anonymous donor and sued him for child support and won!.......

Donate through a reputable bank. They'll keep your identity confidential. Men who go along with these informal arrangements with "friends" are out of their minds.

here is the deal. If you want to give your sperm away and don't want to be responsible for the child later, than make sure you do it legally. Verbal contracts are worthless!

Sounds like a vampire " I just want your semen"

Wasn't that the plot of "Muffy the Vampire Layer"?

Parents have an obligation to their children. Social liberals can not get past this basic concept. The social liberal position is that parents can freely renounce this obligation and kill/abandon/hand off their children and forget about them.

I seem to recall that there was a sperm bank which accepted donors that were Nobel prize winners. I wonder if these guys have been hit up for child support?

I'd like to see that one. The only cases I've seen are where the man knew the woman beforehand (so to speak), and agreed to aid in fertilization procedures.

Wasn't this bozo smart enough to get her to sign a pre-sperm-donation agreement?

No, though in some states that wouldn't hold up anyway, given that he readily admits that they had the sort of relationship from which they could "break up". He was stupid to do it, and she was stupid to use somebody stupid as a donor. Heck, it only costs about $300 to use a reputable bank, and get a sharp PhD or MD or JD who's been screened for a raft of diseases and genetic problems. This poor kid will probably have an IQ of about 60, given the parents' mental abilities.

"No good deed goes unpunished," his attorney Enrico Mirabelli, said in court Tuesday.

There are two crimes here.
Both parties are too stupid to breed...
However, only one party is compelled to involuntary 20-year participation.

Was the attorney there?! How does he know whether or not it was a "good deed"?

He provided her with the semen and broke up with her three months after the birth?

He's on the hook and will pay for the next 19 years for his stupidity in relying on a verbal promise from the mother.

Somehow I don't think these two dim bulbs would have had much success with the "simple, one man/one woman/marry/have kids/stay together forever" route either. Some people are just too dumb to make anything work out right.

He agreed. He's responsible. Quit complaining and pay for it.

I agree with you. This guy sounds like a real heel!
