You know, I had flies in the face of the expected practice around sperm donation copied and everything to have a lol @ djp's expense in this serious discussion, but then he twisted the knob on the spigot even further.

I mean, if donor selection was no big deal, they would just dump all the sperm into a giant vat and hook you up to a spigot when it was time for implantationthat is a really horrifying image and I should delete it no no do not submit this fuck

Stop me if you've heard this one before - a bigot gets hooked up to a giant sperm vat's spigot and...

fyi i wasn't saying it was no big deal or they shouldn't be shut down for fucking it up but just...why do they need to pay you. how do you win your lawsuit. BUT i do think you should be required by law to get inseminated at random.

I do remember that clinics would regularly advertise in the newspapers around yale that they were looking for women who were willing to donate their eggs; Ivy League eggs carry a premium I think
The compensation was in the tens of thousands of dollars but someone told me that considering all the trouble / potential for complications of the egg donation process it ends up being a terrible bargain for the donor
Also remember reading a story about how clinics are refusing to accept donations from gingers because they are overloaded w ginger sperm and i guess nobody wants a ginger child?

Seeing as how people don't pick their sexual partners at random, but look for traits they find attractive, it feels a bit arbitrary to suggest that those who have to seek alternative methods of insemination should be forced to spin a big wheel. that only folks engaging in "traditional" insemination should have any authority over what genes they put inside themselves.
unless you're saying that NO ONE should get to pick their partner in procreation - in which case, good luck with that sci-fi shit

yeah for this to be actual medical ~malpractice~ there has to be substantive harm, it may not be enough that an obvious (but totally benign) mistake was made
― gbx, Friday, 3 October 2014 11:00 (nine years ago) link
hence making the case that the "harm" is inherent to being a biracial kid in garbagetown USA
but like if the goal is just to shutter an incompetent sperm bank (and not to recoup losses that basically don't exist) then there are other ways to go about it I'd think

Kody Firesheets2 months agoYou say Lady Gaga, I say Lady Antebellum. You say Jason Derulo, I say Jason Aldean. You say T-Pain, I say T-Swift You say Ke$ha, I say Kenny. You say Pitbull, I say Paisley. You say Justin Bieber, I say Justin Moore and go grow a pair. 92% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Pop. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this message to another 3 videos. Stop being a idiot and start listening to real music!!! COUNTRY!! thumbs up!!! BTW Brantley Gilbert is one of the best country artists.

I agree that the "wrongful birth" cause of action is probably a huge stretch, but there's also a breach of warranty claim, which is sort of interesting. If you go to a sperm bank that gives you the option of choosing donor traits, are you entitled to "get what you paid for"? I think you probably should be. I mean when you physically mate with someone, you have that option, even with racist motivations, so I don't really think sperm banks should function differently. What the appropriate compensation would be I have no fucking idea.

I'm not...I don't want to argue at all with the racism call. But impregnating someone with sperm they didn't volunteer to get pregnant by is a lot closer to rape than anyone seems to be acknowledging. It's non-consensual impregnation. It's horrifying.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 3 October 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link
Imo to make light of that issue is to also condone other ways of taking control of their own fertility away from women.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 3 October 2014 16:48 (nine years ago) link
this is prob glib but i have trouble thinking thru this cos the scenario of "lesbian couple in rural ohio delivers biracial child from sperm bank mixup" is giving me really insane "we live in a shitty david mamet play" vibes
― goole, Friday, 3 October 2014 16:50 (nine years ago) link
xp Or I mean not explicitly CONDONE them but the logic of it also supports other invasions. Oh, she wanted a baby, she got a baby, she'll be happy once her (natural, feminine) maternal instinct kicks in. Mothers always love their children, and if not they're bad mothers and bad women, and it's their own fault. It's nothing WE did, we just gave her a baby (that her own body nourished and made space for and gave life to).

We support the right of women to choose whose baby they have when they know who the father is, and the checklist of traits in a sperm bank is basically the best proxy we have for that when they never actually meet/know the father. And imo those traits should include anything a woman wants to consider, even if it's race.
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 3 October 2014 16:55 (nine years ago) link
No, I think they're two separate problems--like Dan said, it would be best if they won this case for the precedent but weren't rewarded for singling out race as the key argument.
