      Today's Great Read: Many people want a baby during the pandemic, but there’s a problem: Sperm banks are struggling to keep up with demand. Some prospective parents are turning to unregulated Facebook groups to find donors. https://nyti.ms/38v0A3v

      Hope they're ready for the $250,000 hit to their savings or whatever it costs to raise a child in America.

      If they're going to sperm banks instead of doing it the way nature planned, I'd assume they got some money to burn already for those sorts of fertility treatments.

      A lot of these people are going the "independent donation" route because they can't afford the cost of the legit sperm banks Which sounds absolutely wild to me

      But yeah the point of the article is with a service like 23andMe and the new proliferation of mail order fertility kits, you can get a DNA profile of your random sperm producing friend and then safely get their sperm into your uterus for like a few hundred bucks

      (One huge, huge issue is that it is not at all clear that the donor signing away their rights and responsibilities as a father is legally enforceable in an "independent" situation the way it is with a sperm bank The risk of a paternity suit in the future is very high)

      (If the recipient ends up an impoverished struggling parent in the future then the pressure to go back on their promises/principles and try to sue the donor for child support could be enormous)

          (The article says this has already happened to one of the "sperm kings" who freely advertises his name and face and he's just waved off the court battle as part of the cost of his hobby/calling)
