A London-based ‘sperm donor‘ who has fathered at least 180 children through both “artificial insemination” and “natural insemination” is complaining that his serial sperm ‘donations’ have made it difficult to have a relationship. The man, who calls himself “Joe Donor,” says he is the “angel of the north” because he’s fathered nearly 200 children with women who don’t know his real name or identity. He ‘donates’ to the women in multiple ways; in addition to mailing sperm to women for artificial insemination, he also engages in “natural intercourse,” meaning he has sex with the women, and “partial intercourse,” meaning sex...

They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but mega-sperm donor Dylan Stone-Miller is on a 9,000-mile trek to meet the almost-c-note of kids he has fathered. Stone-Miller, 32, left his job to spend the summer tracking down the kids he sired. Most of the “recipients” of his numerous “contributions” are single women and female couples. FACT-O-RAMA! Stone-Miller was paid $100 per “donation.” He used the money to pay for a lawyer after he was arrested for underage drinking in college. His parents refused to pay for the attorney and Stone-Miller had to take matters into his own...

This ruling demonstrates how enabling and protecting the deliberate creation of motherless and fatherless babies violates children’s natural rights.An Oklahoma judge ruled on Thursday that a baby created for a lesbian couple using purchased sperm belongs with his biological mother and father, not his mom’s female ex. Kris Williams argued that because she helped raise the toddler with her now ex-wife Rebekah Wilson and since she is listed on his birth certificate, she deserves full parental rights. Oklahoma County District Judge Lynne McGuire rejected that claim and said that Oklahoma law detailing parentage trumps the state’s legalization of same-sex marriage....

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) has called for pregnancy crisis centers to be closed down "because they torture women. Instead of offering them the clean and simple option of abortion the are seducing them into giving birth and raising the baby. This inflicts years of responsibility, economic hardship, and worry on them." Most pregnancy centers offer free sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment, pregnancy testing, prenatal vitamins, ultrasounds, post-abortion care, parenting classes, adoption referrals, and even free baby clothes and diapers once the baby is born. The centers receive funding primarily through private donations and grants from religious organizations. Some...

A Florida woman who accused a Vermont doctor of impregnating her with his own sperm instead of a donor’s in 1977 was awarded $5.25 million by a federal judge on Wednesday. Cheryl Rousseau was awarded $250,000 in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages in the case against Dr John Coates III, who inseminated her with his sperm without her consent. Cheryl’s attorney, Celeste Laramie said that the jury awarded Cheryl the amount they had requested, and that the jurors found Coates’ behavior to be ‘wrongful and offensive.’ She said: ‘The jury through its punitive damages verdict sent a...

A retired teacher who says he is the 'world's most prolific sperm donor' has claimed to have fathered 129 children during the last nine years. Clive Jones, 66, who lives in Chaddesden, Derby, has been donating his sperm from his van for nearly ten years and says he has another nine children currently on the way. Mr Jones, who is originally from Burton, was unable to become an official sperm donor as he only started donating aged 58, while banks have an upper donor age limit of 45. But health experts have warned against his actions, saying that all donors...

A Japanese woman has given up her baby after she discovered the sperm donor she slept with ten times to get pregnant had lied about his nationality and educational background in order to have sex with her. The woman, identified as a married 30-year-old from Tokyo, has sued the sperm donor after finding out he was Chinese, not Japanese, had not graduated from Kyoto University, and was married, not single as he claimed, according to Tokyo Shimbun. She and her husband, who already have one child, found the man on social media in 2019 after deciding to have a child...

The world of IVF and assisted reproductive technology has been a massive social experiment, designed under the pretext of giving couples struggling with infertility the ability to have a family. While helping people get pregnant is a worthy and laudable goal, has the experiment gone too far? Most of the attention has only been paid to the parents, while the effect this has on the children conceived through these methods is largely ignored. More and more of them are speaking out — like one man who was conceived through a sperm donor… and learned he has over 30 siblings. Eli...

Danielle Teuscher's 5-year-old daughter Zoe is one of thousands of children conceived with sperm from an anonymous donor. When Teuscher wanted to know more about her daughter's ancestry and possible health issues, she and other family members decided to get DNA tests from 23andMe and added one for Zoe. What turned up appeared to be one of the anonymous donor's immediate relatives. She was shocked. The donated sperm had come from Northwest Cryobank, which offers donors anonymity, but Teuscher said the apparent relative she found on 23andMe listed themselves as open to messaging. "I said 'I don't want to cross...

If I kill an endangered lion in Africa and bring its head and skin home to be stuffed, I will be fined anywhere between $500 and $10,500, depending on how many times I’m caught doing it—not to mention calls for my soul to be fed to Cthulhu after my body is slow roasted on a spit.  But if I sell my own plasma or sperm, I can make $50 per week or more for my blood (for twice a week), and up to $1,500 per month for my sperm. ($125 every 3 days, are you kidding me?). But I can’t...

There is so much wrong with the following story that like other great art that imitates life, I think I’ll let the story mostly speak for itself…and many of the ills of society in general. So, stop me if you heard this one…. Two lesbians put up an ad on Craigslist looking for a sperm donor. This is not in dispute. They put up an ad on Craigslist looking for sperm, like sperm are a couch or a T.V. or those old worthless beanie babies your haggard aunt collected. In response to the ad, one William Marotta, who apparently...

A Kansas sperm donor caught in the middle of a child support case says he wanted to help a lesbian couple when he made the donation nearly five years ago. Instead, he may end up paying for his action. A judge ruled that William Marotta must pay child support, even though he says he signed documents waiving his parental rights. Shawnee County District Court Judge Mary Mattivi said on Wednesday that Marotta failed to conform to Kansas law, which says a licensed physician must be involved in an artificial insemination process, court documents show. Sperm donor liable for child support...

The day after Stephanie Blessing learned she had been conceived with the assistance of a sperm donor and that the man she knew and loved as her father for 32 years was not her father, she went into shock. She remembers sitting in her rocking chair, staring into space. It was so bad, her husband had to remind her to do something as basic as changing their baby’s diaper. “I was just catatonic,” she said. The shock turned into depression, as she began to mourn what she had lost. “I was a daddy’s girl. I had a great childhood, and...

TOPEKA, Kan. -- A sperm donor in Kansas is fighting a state effort to force him to pay child support for a child conceived through artificial insemination by a lesbian couple. William Marotta, 46, of Topeka said he is "a little scared about where this is going to go, primarily for financial reasons," The Topeka Capital-Journal (http://bit.ly/132b7Ji) reported Monday. When he donated sperm to Angela Bauer and Jennifer Schreiner in 2009, Marotta relinquished all parental rights, as well as financial responsibility for the child. When Bauer and Schreiner filed for state assistance this year, the state demanded the donor's name...

The State of Kansas, which does not recognize same-sex unions, is pursuing child support from the man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple because the child’s mother is seeking financial aid. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's administration is seeking to pass the cost of that child support on to the sperm donor of the lesbian couple involved. According to the Huffington Post’s Dec. 30 report, William Marotta, a Topeka mechanic, may have to pay child support for a child he signed away all his parental rights to. The story begins when Marotta answered a Craigslist ad for a sperm donor....

Cynthia Daily had a child with a sperm donor, then discovered that her kid had at least 150 half-siblings — and a range of potential medical and emotional risks Nobody knows exactly how many children are conceived with donated sperm, but an estimated 30,000 to 60,000 such babies are born in the U.S. each year. According to The New York Times, many of these children have more half-siblings than their parents bargained for. One mother, Cynthia Daily, used a donor registry to trace at least 150 children to the same sperm donor who fathered her son. "It's wild when we...
