Cynthia Daily had a child with a sperm donor, then discovered that her kid had at least 150 half-siblings — and a range of potential medical and emotional risks
Nobody knows exactly how many children are conceived with donated sperm, but an estimated 30,000 to 60,000 such babies are born in the U.S. each year. According to The New York Times, many of these children have more half-siblings than their parents bargained for. One mother, Cynthia Daily, used a donor registry to trace at least 150 children to the same sperm donor who fathered her son. "It's wild when we see them all together — they all look alike," says Daily, who sometimes vacations with other families who used the same donor. But such large pools of related offspring face increased risk for rare genetic disorders, not to mention accidental incest between donor siblings. Is it too dangerous to let one man father 150 kids?

I hope they don’t all live in the same town or they may grow up to marry their own siblings and raise up some toothless, banjo picking, Ned Beatty raping children.

This is what you get when you decide for yourself that God is not the Creator - man is! We reap what we sow. Expect more of the same - but worse.

There is no shortage of ‘sperm donors’. Never has been, never will be. She picked ‘anonymous strangling who jerks into cup’ and is unhappy with the results. The sperm bank makes money though.
