Check out the two videos...[=http//www.mtv.com/overdrive/?type=32&id=1544276]Check out the two videos...

I was browsing MTV.com (yeah it's a weird site to find it on). I don't frequent MTV.com, I was just looking for a certain video. Anyway, I came across these two videos on sperm banks (at first I thought it was a joke). It was pretty crazy how they said a donor supposedly has 45 kids that he doesn't even know. Think about them all trying to track you down 20 years down the road to know who you are.

I never really thought about the long term effects that these sperm banks may be causing. Watch the videos and see for yourself. There's a second one right after the first that should load. It must have felt extremely weird (yet exciting) to meet your siblings that were also born from a donor many years later.

What do you guys think? Oh, and I know these are videos but I think this deserves it's own thread since it's more of an in depth type thing to discuss rather than being solely entertainment.

Yeah threads that are bout disussing something with links to videos are fine, it's just posting video's for people's entertainment that should be in the sticky.

Anyway, I'm'a check out those videos.

45?? Wow. I could never do that, and wonder if theres a kid somewhere that is mine, and what he's like. That would kill me.

If I were tall enough, I would donate sperm in a second.

The money is very good, but I don't think I could do it. I'd want to play a role in the kids' upbringing, and I wouldn't know how to build a relationship with them when they tracked me down 20 years later--or, if I decided not to let them track me down, I'd feel guilty for not letting them meet their biological father.

You must be at least 5'11" to donate; almost all mothers-to-be ask for tall donors.

You get to donate at least once a month, though.

And you're getting paid to jerk off. Most people do it for free.

You get to donate at least once a month? Is it just me or does it sound like your getting binded into a mendatory contract?

ilanbg

31-10-2006 07:30:23

It's not a mandatory contract.

that happens all the time, not in sperm banks, its called the nba season.


also, there excessive use of the word half sibling, made them sound like a weird race in the lord of the rings.

It's $65 for "acceptable specimen" which would be almost all of them if you've already been screened and tested and approved. You do it 2-3 times a week for a year so it can really add up.

So 3 x $65 = $195 a week (assuming they accept it, which in most cases they do unless some certain thing is wrong).

$195 a week isn't bad, especially since college kids need the money. They also give you free movie tickets and meals.

When you donate, I believe lotions and such are prohibited.

I'm 17. lol

I guess you just go to a cryogenics bank, apply for it by filling out some applications and giving some of your background health info, then they'll contact you about it and see if you're up for it.

You have to be healthy of course.

I would probably do it if I was older and there was a cryogenic bank around. It's helping people and I'd probably need the money... shrug

J4320's age also used to say 96, but that's obviously not his age now is it?

My age never said 15; I filled the 'age' field this week.
