What a crazy case:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=8&u=/ap/20050224/ap_on_re_us/sperm_theft

I don't know whether I agree with the outcome. Couldn't they just make her repay the payments and call it a day rather than the usual US story of 'you sued me, so I'll sue you more'?

Nice wording
article said:
She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift — an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee," the decision said. "There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request
the world's gone fg mad

Crazy case, perhaps, but the underlying facts of the mother keeping the contents in her mouth after a BJ, saving it, artificially inseminating herself with it later, and then claiming a paternity suit against the 'father' once the child was born is morally reprehensible.

And a scary concept too.

I hope the child never has a pet rabbit - the mother would probably boil it.

"There's a 5-year-old child here," Mirabelli said. "Imagine how a child feels when your father says he feels emotionally damaged by your birth."

Imagine how the child feels when it finds out its mum's a fg loony

“saying she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex”

Honey, why are you cheeks puffed out like that?

What a strange story.

Mummy where do babies come from

Well, when two people hardly know each other at all, and the mother is too much of a fruit loop to hold down a relationship for long enough for it to progress to penetrative sex.......

etc

Did she actually make him sign a contract to transfer the ownership of his tadpoles? And didn't he think it was a bit odd when she always spat into a turkey baster afterwards?

Clearly it is! Just how the blazes did she do it, though?

MMMmmm. Mmmmm. Hmmm. Mmm. Hmmmmn.

"she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex, then used it to get pregnant."
How much of an idiot was the guy not to notice this and what did she tell the fertility clinic when she rushed over with the 'deposit'? Wouldn't they wonder where she had got this from (especially if it was in a turkey baster!)? Aren't there loads of forms to sign to consent to store sperm?

At the risk of being flamed, I am reminded of the Bills Hicks routine about groupies...

"So I'm backstage and this girl is giving me a bb, and she stops, she looks up at me and says, "I think you've had enough..."

"Honey, you're gonna KNOW when I've had enough...."

Don't you normally get paid when donating sperm?

And currently donors are still given anonimity, so surely these rules should apply in this case.

You certainly don't get to donate it that way. Or maybe he was on BUPA....

There is a serious underlying issue here-why should a man be expected to pay child support for a child he never agreed to have and has no contact with.

It seems that under the new femininst ordering of society fathers are regarded as Sperm and cash providers.

I agree with you in this case as he was duped into becoming a father. However, if you have intercourse with someone and she ends up pregnant, you've volunteered to the possibility of becoming a father and should take some responsibility for it. IMHO of course!
