is it wrong to get pregnant by a sperm donor/bank?
hi, me and my friend had a very deep conversation a few nights ago, because some ppl had been picking on her at uni, they keep callin her mother hen, mrs broody and big mama. i told her it was natural to feel so strongly about becoming a mother and that when the time came she would be a great mum, then there was tears, swapping stories, thoughts and feelings and she asked me to make a pact with her, at the time i agreed but now i dont know whether it was wrong.
we both agreed that if we weren’t mother’s by the time we were 25 we would get pregnant by either finding a sperm donor, or paying a sperm bank.
i realise now that was stupid to say, but one part of my brain keeps going ‘baby baby baby baby baby baby!’
ok so i can see the problems of finding a sperm donor, if you just pick a guy off the street it would be cruel and sneaky to him and who knows what diseases he could have. then if you go to a sperm bank they want thousands of pounds off of you, and there’s never a guarantee of conception.
sorry, i know its such a long difficult and confusing question.
what’s everybody’s thoughts on this?
sorry, i appear to have offended people in this post, for which i apologise, thought i would add, i DO want to be a mum, more than anything in the whole world, and i fear i may not be able to concieve which fuels my obsession further. ill act sensible about this, i am usually sensible but alcohol was involved that nyt (note: i dont actually drink) ill phone her when i get the time and discuss this whilst sober.
once again i apologise for any offence made, i realise this could be very insensitive of me posting my question in the ‘trying to conceive’ category. sorry.
As a total atheist but a strong masculist, I disagree with this trend of making male genetic material nothing more than a commodity, and simply eradicating the role of men as fathers. The law of England also requires that this donor father, who is not wanted in his child’s life, can still be financially responsible (the reason why there is now a chronic shortage of donors). Clearly there are some things the feminists want to cling to.
It is a silly pact. There is no urgency to be a mother by 25, or by any particular age, but if you do, the usual way is to have sex with a man. If you fail to conceive then use your partner’s sperm, and let your child know the joys and benefits of having a father. A real father.

I don’t think its wrong. If there is no male figure there to have a family with and you want it BAD, go for it. There is nothing wrong with that. But then again who knows who you will meet in the next few years.

i think it was a very silly pact to make with your friend, as just because she wants to be a mum by the age of 25 doesn’t mean you will want that too, and it doesn’t mean she CAN get pregnant either, it’s not as simple as that. you might even decided on a career that takes you somewhere else that doesn’t include children, then where would your ‘friend’ be?
i think it was very unfair and very selfish of you ‘friend’ to make you do that and you need to tell her you don’t want to any more.
it’s not that easy to go to a sperm bank either, i mean, are you both desperate enough to want to be single mums? it’s not easy, from what ppl hav told me. why don’t you both settle down with lovely men, get a stable job, get married and THEN try for kids?
it’s not that easy to set goals with regards to kids. trust me. i did it and now i’m havin to use ivf to conceive number 1 it’s upsetting, and emotionally/physically draining.
never just assume you can have children, it’s not a right, kids deserve BOTH parents. if you’re a lesbian/problems with male fertility there’s no choice.

I think it would be better to have a male partner in your life. The child will grow up without a father and that is not a good thing. Every child needs a daddy. Its completely up to you though you are the one who has to decide.

I recommend reading "The Infertility Companion". It goes into detail why Donor Insemination would or would not be okay. Personally I would go the route of adopting/accepting an embryo, then you are saving an already created life. However the cost of that is very prohibiting.

WTF..at 25 you should only then be starting to consider thinking about having a baby. You both sound rather immature for University students…
Most people are still looking for someone to settle down with at that age?
Dont you even want to have a career? Whats the point in going to Uni then?

Dont make silly pacts just enjoy your life and one day you will meet someone and start a family, if not then think about using a sperm bank and it will give you plenty of time to save xx

i hav recently gotten pregnant through a donor, but iv been in a stable relatonship for 9 yrs, the donor, my gf and i chose happened to be a gd freind of ours, so we have a father figure for when our child arrives,we chose home insemination which took over a year to be sucssessful i think its personal choice but not one made lightly, there is a lot of things to go into, and the desision shouldnt be made just because you want a baby before 25……… i think maybe a chat when not under the influence would be a gd thing as many things can be said and done when havin a drink…. your mister right might be round the next corner so dont make any rash decisions

There are websites out there that provide free sperm donation. I’ve found some in the past, while I was with my ex partner. They provide you with people who are willing to donate their sperm for free and are willing to take STD tests and whatnot to prove that they are safe.
I agree with some of the people here, it was a little silly to make this pact, but, at the same time, I can understand where you’re coming from, in that the desire to have a baby can be completely overwhelming sometimes.
Good luck and I hope things go well for you.
