Goodbye men, it was nice knowing you.

"I need to go and have a baby and be a mother, and so I did," Katherine said.

Sigh.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Besides, it's tough getting the "village" taxpayers to support and raise your child if "Mr. Right" is living in the home.

"Goodbye men, it was nice knowing you."

Unless these women are Lesbians, don't they know how much fun their missing by going the route of the sperm donor?

[JamesP81]

I really am screwed now (pun not intended). Perhaps lifelong singlehood isn't as bad as it sounds.

[Slings and Arrows]

This twist on the mating game begins at a sperm bank, where donors can earn up to $900 a month.

"These guys are college students. This is a form of income," said California Cryobank Medical Director Dr. Cappy Rothman.

This is a time bomb waiting to ruin your life. It goes off the day "Mommy" finds herself broke and goes after you for child support. Guarantees of anonymity won't mean jack to an activist judge.

[HitmanLV]

I categorically don't date single/divorced/widowed moms. Kids are a bad scene for a bachelor about town, and I have no interest in raising some other guy's children.

"Thirteen-year-old Liz Herzog, whose father is donor number 1002 "

Sick, selfish women..thinking only of their own wants.
This practice is demented.

[McGavin999]

What totally selfish women. They are more concerned with themselves and their "biological clocks" than with providing their child with EVERYTHING that child needs to be well rounded. It's tough enough when something happens to your spouse (death, etc.) to raise a child alone, but to do it without even thinking of the consequences is unimaginable.

""These guys are college students. This is a form of income,"

Mow a lawn you lazy POS.

"I need to go and have a baby and be a mother, and so I did," Katherine said."

What an extremely selfish attitude. No wonder she hasn't met Mr. Right -- who'd want her?

"I can't even say that once in a while I wish I had a father, because I don't," she said"

Even if you did, you couldn't. Thank your mom for that -- you can probably reach her on her cell phone.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Perhaps lifelong singlehood isn't as bad as it sounds.

Yeah but even single people get the "urge" every now and then. What are you going to do, be celibate?

[lostlakehiker]

Of course they know. But what choice do they have? All too often, while there may be men who will share their bed, those men are not about to be roped into being a father.

"Thirteen-year-old Liz Herzog, whose father is donor number 1002 from Virginia's Fairfax Cryobank, says she's happy with her life."

Shades of "Brave New World". Kinda gives me the willies.

[mewzilla]

I feel sorry for her progeny.

[Xenophon450]

"Thirteen-year-old Liz Herzog, whose father is donor number 1002 from Virginia's Fairfax Cryobank, says she's happy with her life. "I can't even say that once in a while I wish I had a father, because I don't," she said. "

Because you never had one to begin with, many fatherless children would LOVE to have a father.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Mow a lawn you lazy POS.

ROFL!

I always disliked the school assignments where you had to trace back your ancestry. The point was that no one is an American -- except Native Americans. My father's side goes back over 200 years in America. My mother's side goes back over 300 years. But my teachers always told me I was not American, I was from an immigrant family. I hated that.

But at least my family tree didn't include donor number 1002.

[freedumb2003]

Expectant fathers in the waiting room...

[Tall_Texan]

Heck, my fear, as a man, would be some loony family judge would make me have to pay child support...
