	If you donated to a sperm bank, would you want to hear from your child 20 years later Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I think it was dateline or one of those crappy news magazine shows that showed some reunions of a sperm bank child with their biological father. I thought that was kind of cool. I respect the guy for meeting his daughter. It's not like it costs him anything finacially- he doesn't have to pay child support or anything. But in most cases it's near impossible for them to track the father down. And when the sperm bank does, they have to get permission to hook them up.

By default, no, but then if I change my mind later, it might be nice for me to have that option. Possibly the same right to the kid, but only if I concur too.

It's sad, I really want a kid, but can't find a woman who will even marry me, much less have my child.

I was thinking about sperm banks. Plus they give you money too! That's a win-win situation.

But I'd be afraid they would laugh at me and tell me they don't want sperm of people like me.

That isn't an issue. Do it if you want to. Hell, getting paid to jerk off (with free porno) sounds like a decent way to spend an afternoon. Why not do it?

Sadly, many people have picked up on this, and they genetically screen people now to get the right stuff, or something.

Or the dad would decide to rape his own kid because no one would EVER suspect it. Talk about easy stalking prey!

'Oh, I just wanted to see what my daughter would be like. I'm a good-lookin' dude, so my only motivation is 'curiosity' and 'love'. Could I please have her family's phone number and address so I can track her down?'

But of course, in this perfect world of ours, that sort of thing could NEVER, EVER happen, right? Whew! For a minute there I thought I was in some sort of terrible horror flick!

and how do they genetically screen? That's what I'm worried about. I'm not very tall for a white person. That might not be desirable.

My older sister is shorter than me. Whenever I said something about being taller my father would suggest that six inches be removed from my shins and placed in hers. But that might not be a good solution for your height problem.

Dissident--height is not genetically determined. Largely it's due to early years nutrition, pituitary gland activity, and, at best, randomness. (Then again, I'm also way out of my league here, but I'm saying the 50 foot woman could marry King Kong and it's very possible they would have a little five foot dork kid.)

yeah my problem was I didn't eat well enough when I was young. I had a very picky appetite. I didn't like meat very much when I was young.

I kind of wish I had strict parents who forced me to eat my meat and veggies. I didn't really get into meat until I was in my teen years and needed higher protein amounts.

I've heard of people getting paid to "donate" at the sperm bank. I could just see a guy jolding a sign saying "Will spank it for food."

Well, not yet. I'm working on it. But as for the psycho movie star thing, I'm only using the National Inquirer as a 'source'. I've never met any movie stars, and I've no desire to do so. It just seems an AWFUL lot like the garbage(add cheezy Pepe LePew accent) they talk about in those trash rags.

My marriage is sort of like Jennifer Lopez marrying Ben Affleck, only I'm Ben and he's JLo. And metaphorically speaking, I'm out $16,000,000 for a pink ring.

You people have no respect for men.

Obviously a man can't desire to have a child. Something must be wrong with him. But women can have desires to have children- and people don't think twice about that.
