As if this matters.

Women can just rape you now and still demand child support.

I would think a system where the institution doing the insemination can pass along a message for you would be way better than simply identifying the donor be it egg or sperm.

Considering the current cultural climate, I wouldn't be surprised if donor anonymity was lifted in the next few years. Donate at your own risk!

I really hope that any man who reads this subreddit would never ever even consider donating sperm.

I don't know if you guys read the whole article, but at the bottom it mentioned that at present donors can choose to be revealed. Which implies that they can choose not to be. The controversy lies in the old policy of not having that option and just assuming anonymity. Also, they do talk at length about egg donors as well and gamete donations in general which makes this an issue that affects both sexes equally, thus taking it out of the realm of MensRights.

I didn't read anything there about the father paying anything. I'm OK with this as long as it is only for the over-18 offpring of the donation wanting to know who their father/mother (sometimes both) is.

This just means less normal guys will donate. Instead it'll be the narcissistic douchebags that donate their sperm.

Deny them your precious bodily fluids!
You DNA can and will be traced back to you, then your are a "father" not just a sperm donor.EEK-Wallett-Eeee

JessterKing · 2010-10-17T04:23:04+00:00

as long as they can't get child support or money from me, I don't really care. Its not everyday that someone come to your house and says that I'm your sperm donation.

Will the girl still want to contact him knowing that her biological father was a 5-foot-10 Caucasian bum with blue eyes and blood type A positive?

While I'm all for being wary of the child support racket (and wouldn't be surprised if a sperm donor wound up paying child support), this article is about a girl wanting to identify her father for emotional reasons than a mother wanting child support.

I realize that a discussion of child support might not have been the OP's intent, just commenting on the trend of comments.

Ms. Pratten, who was born in B.C. in 1981

Holy shit, this chick is almost 4000 years old!!

raduannassar · 2010-10-17T09:04:29+00:00

The Attorney-General and College had argued that Ms. Pratten's case was moot

This will probably a set a precedent for other women to find the donor and ask for child support

industry7 · 2010-10-16T18:48:21+00:00

Hm... if I were that father I'd take out a straining order. That's some serious harassment right there.

2010-10-17T01:46:44+00:00

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH SOMEONE MIGHT FIND OUT I'M A HALF A MAN WHO FEELS THE NEED TO DONATE SPERM BECAUSE HE CANT PROCREATE NORMALLY WAAAAAAAAAAH
