On the other hand I have always believed sperm banks are immoral.How is it anything but commercialized adultery?re some will say”but what about childless couples?”
Doesn’t change the FACT that a third party is being introduced into the marriage.

Gotta agree with you, hoosierham. In marriage, you give the whole of your sexuality over to your spouse. It's really not ligitmate to take the real heart and soul of sexuality --- procreation --- and outsource it to somebody else. Because of the innately exclusive nature of marriage, it entails an implicit agreement to conceive/beget children only with your spouse.

The particular case shows how a baby, supposed to be the gift of love, turns into a commodity, begotten as part of a commercial transaction. The child is not valued for the child's own sake, but his/her worth is entirely subordinate to customer (adult) satisfaction.
