Would you consent to your spouse becoming an egg/a sperm donor?

It wouldn't be my choice, since it's his body. If it was someone we knew, I would want to know how the child was doing, and I would feel much better if we got to see the kid. I don't think I would ever be completely comfortable with it, because I would feel closer to the child than would be fair to the kid or their parents.

I don't think I would be able to fully let go and let them just fully be parents and think of the child as fully theirs. I would always think of the kid as half his. If it was going to a stranger, I would try to talk him out of it.

But again, it's not my body, so I can't decide.

Well, my spouse and I actually have had this conversation. I stress, he is NOT a nazi but.. he does have strong feelings that the aryan race is dying off due to out breeding... as in many aryan traits are recessive and in the face of dominant genes such as brown eyes and dark hair are dying out. In reaction to this prior to us meeting he wanted to go about donating sperm at as many locations as possible so as to... help support the survival of the blond blue eyed gene pool.I.. very adamantly disagree with this course of action.

I feel that no good will come of human beings with good genes if they are not raised correctly to compliment them. In the occurrence of sperm or egg donation you have no say over who is raising your offspring. I can't say with the pay I haven't considered egg donation, I could use that kind of money, but morally I could never allow myself or my spouse to do so.

You can't have responsibility for what is yours if you give it away.

Actually, I have consented. My husband has a relative who is gay. There has been talk of him donating his sperm.

We are very close to this person and a few years ago there was even talk of my carrying the child.

Well, considering that so far he's had three good hits, I would consider it. It would be hard if there was to be no contact, however, knowing that the baby would be my childrens' half-sibling. I'm not sure I could do it unless we'd have some contact, and I know that's not usually how it works!

Yes, this is something I would consent to. I would not consider this cheating, I consider this giving someone the ultimate gift.

NO - but not for the reasons you might think. 1. He is not genetically superior to anyone else.

But more importantly... 2. The current world population is 6.8 BILLION people, we don't need more - even the United Nations has said human overpopulation is our current number one threat, many nations are finally waking up to this issue which as been political suicide to talk about. Basically I wouldnt let him donate because we don't need more people... and certainly not more with bad teeth!

Depends on the situation. What makes your spouse considering to become an egg/ sperm donor? If the situation is that my family is in financial trouble and need all the help I can get, then yes, I would consent for it.An egg/ sperm donor get paid well and it would help our family termendously.

However, if a friend ask him, I don't think I could consent to that. That might take his heart away from my family if he could have a contact with his child.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
