"Accidental incest" possible after one man impregnates 30 women
Filed under: Babies, In The News, Weird But True, Sex
Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy and girl find out they are related.Lifetime Movie Network or just your average Australian romance?
Australian laws are forcing gays and lesbians to seek "unregulated" sperm donors in order to have children, worrying state officials who say a generation of half-siblings could commit "accident incest" if the trend continues.
One man is thought to have impregnated at least 30 lesbians, while another man's sperm may have been used to father 29 babies.
According to FOXNews, sperm donation in South Australia is limited to heterosexual couples experiencing infertility and other reproductive hurdles, forcing same-sex couples to seek "donations" from willing parties online, or from casual sex. The same laws also require sperm donors to reveal their identities, putting off many men from donating at legitimate clinics.
Authorities fear that the children could grow up, meet and form sexual relationships with one another -- they are particularly worried because 29 half-siblings may all reside in Adelaide, one "big county town." Doctors fault the laws, which they say push gays and lesbians outside the system to have children of their own, and called for the South Australian laws to be repealed.
Ambitious entrepreneurs take note -- the DNA analysis business is going to be HUGE down under.

Meg said...In USA, there are several "donor sibs" networks where children of the same sperm donor grow up knowing each other as half-siblings. Better than that dating each other as teens and adults. Are there any such networks down under?

Dr. G. said...There was a similarly weird story like this in the U.S. a few years back that was featured on ABC's 20-20.
This fertility doctor was substituting his own sperm in-place of husbands of women he was performing artificial insemination on, in this small town.
He sired several children with several different women, that all shared the genetic trait he passed on: Lazy eye syndrome.
All the couples sued him and brought their children to court. The courtroom was full of children wearing eye-patches, the common treatment for lazy eye syndrome.
Man, that was one weird and scary story.

What do you recommend for matrimonial alliance for such cases i.e. where one person has Lazy Eye Syndrome?

UncleD said...(second try) This reminds me of a song that was kicking around in the 1950's. It was called, "I'm my own Grandpa". Don't know who recorded it but it might have been "Spike Jones and the Firehouse Five plus Two".

smenders2 said...I don't get the widespread vitriole against "liberals"; Conservatives want to "conserve" the status quo, and liberals want to make changes. If everyone were conservatives, we'd still be in the dark ages. I'm not Christian, but Jesus was a liberal and Pontius Pilate was a conservative. Think about that.

ARALIUS said...FOR YEARS THEY HAVE USED THE SYSTEM FOR FINANCIAL GAIN AND SELF GRATIFICATION AS THEY USE GOOD MEN JUST TO HAVE A CHILD AND BE WITH ANOTHER WOMEN WHILE THE SYSTEM WRECKS THE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL STABILITY OF GOOD MEN WHO WANTED TO BE IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP AND RAISE A FAMILY THIS DECEPTION BY LESBIANS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE LAWS THAT SAY GIVE HER THE CHILD A HOUSE AND MAKE HIM PAY WHAT WOMEN HAS THE FORTITUDE TO STAND UP AGAINST THIS WRONG ANSWER: NONE.
BUT LET GAY MEN DO SOMETHING SIMILAR AND ALL MANKIND WILL HAVE HELL TO PAY
