...Mr. Harrison had been thinking about getting in touch since reading in an article in The New York Times 15 months ago that two teenagers whose mothers had used his sperm to conceive were looking for him. The headline, “Hello, I’m Your Sister, Our Father Is Donor 150,” made him choke on his coffee, said Mr. Harrison, who made $400 a month donating sperm under that number twice-weekly during the late 1980s.
...Once one of the sperm bank’s most-requested donors, with a profile that described him as 6 foot and blue-eyed with interests in philosophy, music and drama, Mr. Harrison, 50, lives with his four dogs in a recreational vehicle near the Venice section of Los Angeles.
“I make a meager living,” Mr. Harrison said, taking care of dogs and doing other odd jobs.
Still, he said he thought he could explain to the girls why he had taken an unconventional life-path. Their grandfather was an Ivy League-educated retired financial executive, he would tell them; their grandmother was a former volunteer president for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

Or worse - what if his female offspring decide they too want fatherless children, and go to the same bank and receive donations from "donor 150"??
Looking at this guy confirms my belief that there is a "sperm donor" type: someone flaky or effeminate. The offspring who wants to talk to his dad's dogs seems to have inherited more than height or looks.
Maybe I equate normal with moral, but I doubt a conservative guy, given his sanity & self-control, would ever agree to do this kind of thing. (Likewise for an egg donor.)
It's the flakes who are doing this kind of thing & passing on the crazy genes.

HA !
Sounds a lot like some kind or discrimination to me. Why should he be able to shirk his duties? Forced labor camps would work very well in instances such as these. After all it is for the children isn't it.
Eeeeewwww...
I think you just broke that poor girl's heart.
