SPERM donor issues.
November 30th 2007 00:19
Recently the question of whether a sperm donor should have the right to decide who his seed went to or not, was raised in the media.
Conjecture was given to both sides of the argument. Those who agreed stated, that indeed yes, a person has a right as to where his seed went, much the same as if he was 'seeding' naturally - the decision of where it was cast would be entirely his own. Obviously his decision making process coloured by his own views and values.
The opposition took the view that, in giving rights to the 'donor', minority groups may be discriminated against based on things like sexuality, religion, culture etc etc and that it should come under a non-biased, regulatory body who would be far more objective in the, and, if, you'll excuse the pun, dissemination of the said commodity.
Being of the female persuasion, I am interested in hearing from men who either have or are considering donating sperm and what your feelings are on the matter. I know how I would feel but I believe this should be a matter of vigorous debate amongst men. After all, much air time is given to 'womens body's' and the fact that they can decide what to do with them in regards to abortion, birth control and harvesting/storing of eggs. Lets hear what men think about when it comes to their own bodies and procreative rights.
