I am your father.
So I saw in ad in the newspaper for a sperm bank that says make up to $300 a week. Sounds like easy money. Without going into detail... it's not like I don't waste it anyway. 
.........errr, I mean... what?
What do you think? Maybe the key words are UP TO. What is it... $50 a day for 6 days?

Can I take my girlfriend with me? I hear she can get $5000 an egg.

Isn't it a complicated and somewhat dangerous procedure to harvest eggs? I'm pretty sure its an actual operation. Its not like they can just...umm...suck em out or something. heh.
Also, lets say you're 18 now and you start donating sperm. When you're a rich successful 50 year old who's dating 21 year old chicks, one of them could be your daughter!!!
thats bs. and against the privacy.
donate some cells and someone knocks on your door in 20 years. trying to "know you". fsck it. their parents are their parents = mum and dad. you should not be involved in it.
umph, i'm just 25 % totally unknown.

How many people go in for artificial ___________ anyway? It would make more sense to adopt a child instead.
Do you know people who have had an artifical pregnancy?
With all the DNA-related ID and crime lab technologies in the works, I wouldn't. DNA will only become a more prevalent means of identifying and convicting people. Imagine giving a couple clinics in a big city a month's worth of spoo... 3 years later you've got dozens of kids running around all over the place. 12 or more years after that, some of these kids start committing crimes because mamacita didn't raise them right.
Granted, you'd have to be in the vicinity of the crimes they commit for starters, but one day it's going to happen. Some poor sap is going to get accused / convicted of a crime commited by one of his Public Sperm Works projects.
Hey, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me!

And here I was just going to tell Akumulator to sign up with the University of Calgary. Guys there can get a free two-week vacation to Australia for volunteering as a sperm donor. A clinic in New South Wales made the offer, because Australian guys quit donating when a ruling came down that you couldn't remain anonymous.

I do know a couple that used a doner's egg and it made my friends the happiest people in the world. After all was said and done they couldn't believe how amazing they feel, and the gratitude they feel, because someone was willing to help them out. The father's going to donate sperm now simply because he feels so grateful after the process that he wants to return the favor.
If you can, donate sperm. You'll make some unfortunate couple happier than a pig in shit.

I've never been a sperm donor, but I've been saving mine up since I was 13 in a big jar in the fridge. I figure maybe someday someone will give me like a million dollars for it.
Just reading that makes me want to puke.

But something about carrying your child for that 9 months, the delivery process, all that stuff can make you feel closer to the child, make it feel like it is more yours. Adoption is an awesome thing, no doubt, but some people don't want to go that route.

aww. i think avoiding all that is awesome. why does anyone want to see their body deform, belly grow to gigantic measurements, feel pain etc etc all the inconveniences it causes?
it can make you feel closer to the child, maybe. but it does not mean the child will be at all close to you.
if you want a child to be loved, get a child and love it. it shouldn;t differ if it has been a parassite in your body or if you have bought (adopted) it. just love, that counts.
besides, i'd freak out if i ever had a kid that had anything (physical or charachter) of me, or of my parents, especially mum. i think i could not love it.
