My husband just randomly came to me the other day with the idea of being a sperm doner.. he said he heard from some buddies that he could get around 70$ every time he does it.. I dont doubt that and extra money is always nice, it just seems kinda weird.. anyone agree??

Why not- its just sperm - i mean shedding sperm is not comparable to abortion!!

I think you absolutely should let him donate. It may seem weird, but it also may give the gift of a child to someone like me. I have been married nearly 8 years, and we have found out that my husbands little soldiers are dead. Because of ppl donating sperm, there is still a prayer that I can become a mother. Plus, as you said, the extra money can't hurt anything either.

He said he heard from buddies - sounds to me like he's doing it because they are and it's the "in" thing right now. The real question is, 1 year, 5 years, 10 years or 20 years down the road will he be able to live with himself. Will it drive him bonkers if he keeps wondering if he has children that are his in the world? You hear about women all the time who gave birth to children, gave them up, and years later were terribly bothered by it. Will he be on the street one day & see another person & say "That person resembles me. Could it be mine?" Anything in this day & age is possible. Besides, what difference is $70 or $140 or a tad more going to really make.

It's just a little odd to me, but if you are both comfortable then it should be ok. Does he want to know if there were any conceptions from his donations and is he allowed to? Would you be comfortable in this knowledge and if you are ( and this could be a very noble thing to help people who want children) would you donate an egg?? There is a lot more money to be made from it then from sperm. Would you contact these children?? It depends on where you stand.

Well do you want your kids to have all kinds of 1/2 siblings all over the place? Would you like your kids to have a chance of marrying a 1/2 sibling? It is creepy. Do you support repotec? You do not know who is going to get these babies. Your husband is selling them because they are selling them to anyone who will pay. Does he care who parents his offspring? Does he care if they abuse his genetic children? It is up to him. Does he care if they get aborted selectively because they are one of 8? Does he care if they are frozen indefinitely? Does he care if they come back to find him? This is part of him or is it just about the money to him? It sounds like you care, but this is not your body or your DNA.
I am just presenting the issues to you here to look at. It is up to you what your beliefs are.

so many good points here. first of all, your husband, WOULD be giving another lady a chance at becoming a mother! yes, BUT!!! what about in 14 or 15 years, an anonymus child comes up and says "hey, ur my daddy" what happens then. it's your call! but remember, the consequences, on either side!!!

i agree with it being wierd. i wouldnt let my boyfriend do it just because, if he's getting someone pregnant, it better be me, not some random girl. i dont care how much it pays. whether you let him do it depends on if you want some girl having your husbands baby... ...just think, do you really need that extra money? donate blood or pawn something. there are other options!!!

Tell him to find extra money elsewhere. Not only will he not be making that much extra money but you will lose as well. If you are not comfortable with it tell him no way.

Yes I do agree with you. It seems a little wierd that your husbands "children" could be running around!
