I'm surprised they didn't think of this sort of thing happening ahead of time. On second thought, I'm really not.

Can you imagine the irony of the situation if you found a mate, dated a while and then got married and then later on found out that your spouse was your 1/2 sibling because your Dad had been a sperm donor previously.

I think this would make for a great comedy movie similar to Twins with Arnold and Danny!

I think you're on to something there Jay, but it would need to take place in West Virginia so it could have a happy ending.

Did the donor get to enjoy 150 moments of joy or, are they just defrosting the same sample when they want to...uh utilize that sample?

Yes, I agree it is kinda creepy.

I think "happy endings" are part of the problem to begin with.

At a smaller scale, this is as bad as folks in Asia aborting female fetuses after an ultrasound. Too many single women picking the same man's sperm is a recipe for trouble. I guess the women need to just do things the old fashion way and settle for homely, but stable men with jobs.

Isn't that kind of dangerous due to umm sperm health? Isn't the healthiest, best one supposed to reach the egg first? Wouldn't this be kind of counter productive to nature (I'm ignoring the factor of how the human race's genepool would be affected).
