Would You Give Your Brother Your Sperm?

[jjc_7]

If I had a brother, I wouldn't even give it a second thought...he could have it in a heartbeat.

 

[twardmo]

no i wouldn't, there are sperm banks for that

 

[JakeBequette]

If I liked the girl it was going in I would. If it was the whore he's with now, then nope.​

 

[aaronp]

for the most part yes, if my brother was a fit father and wanted to have a child with my sperm than yes.
for me, being a parent goes far beyond biology, and seeing as to how i would not be the primary caregiver, i would not view myself as the parent.

 

[apt125]

Yes I would if them ask me!

 

[blackbeltninja]

Yes, without even thinking about it.

-d-

 

[drhladnjak]

I almost certainly would so long as I thought my brother was at a stage in his life where he was ready to raise a kid. One of my brother's is currently engaged to be married to his long time girlfriend, so I suppose it could even happen.

I hate that show though. Ugh, what a piece of garbage. I just have no interest in watch melodrama about rich people's problems, but several of my friends think otherwise and hence I've watched the show once or twice. Also, HDTV has not been kind to Sally Field's looks...

 

[trawler69]

No I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to risk our relationship which is very good. He might feel strange bringing up my child and I might feel the same about him doing it. It would not be worth the risk especially when there are sperm banks out there for just this purpose and there are loads of children needing adoptive parents.

If I liked the girl it was going in I would. If it was the whore he's with now, then nope.​

good answer

i don't think my sister in law should breed.

she's a cunt

 

[Swellegant]

I would feel very torn.

I mean, on the one hand, I don't think that just because I squeezed one out and via some medical hocus-pocus it turned into a child would make it my child. It would be the child of whomever carried it and raised it. I would have no problem with the relationship itself.

On the other hand, I feel very strongly about reducing population growth, and contributing to the creation of yet more children in the world is something I don't think I could, in good conscience, do.

But then, one often does things for the people one loves that one does not believe in. And often one learns from it. So I don't know. Fortunately I have a sister, and she already has plenty of children, so it's not ever going to come up.

 

[DarkNeko]

No, I wouldn't.

it seemed a bit of a disappointment his boyfriend seemed to toss off their relationship based on one disagreement.

They have had more than one argument on the show. In fact, they had a really big one in the last episode.

 

[yvrpalms]

No. As the initial reason the charactor Kevin pointed out, kids, as we all know can be cruel. Imagine the rough time the kid would have when the other kids find out his/her father is really his/her uncle? Let alone a gay uncle? Growing up is hard enough. Why add to that stress?

 

[jaysizzles]

This is totally a hypothetical situation because I know my brother is not looking to father children at this stage in his life...but to answer the question....I would. I'd do/give almost anything I could for any member of my family.

I have a good relationship with my brother and he is a good man. I trust him but I'd have to apply some conditions to it because I would want to insure some of my rights, knowing that I would have special feelings/bond with the child...and especially knowing that sometimes life takes unanticipated courses. These would all have to be legally agreed upon prior to conception.

• The child would have to know that I am biologically the father but not their Dad. I would not want a secret or lie to hang over all of our heads forever. I'm sure it could be explained without traumatizing the kid.
• I would agree to take a back seat and play the uncle role and legally sign off on parental and financial responsibilities...letting my brother adopt the child.
• I would want the right to custody if anything happened to both parents.
• I would want provisions to guaranty visitation rights...especially in the event of death of my brother and remarriage of the mother.

I'm sure there'd be other terms...but if they could agree to these, I'd gladly donate.

 

[tweetymp]

my sister and her partner have a girl that is mine. I did think long and hard about it and decided that they would be great parents. I finally realized that there is no difference between any of my nieces no matter who the father is. I rationalized it this way. If something were to happen to my other sister and her husband, I would take in their kids as my own. I would do the same in any case so what is the difference?

In this case, they have the closest thing to their own child.

 

[MidnightPrism]

I would gladly donate to one of my siblings if they couldn't' conceive.

 

[buzzj]

I don't believe I'd have to think long at all before saying "yes." Though Jake does raise an interesting point. If for some reason I had doubts about the wife's maternal abilities, I'd have to have a long hard talk with my brother!

 

[buzzj]

Nope...I save mine for desperate lesbians. For 5000 a pop....I inject them myself.

With a turkey baster... or with l'il vanman34?? ( )

 

[provenlogic]

ahh but the real question, would you give your brother your sperm if he didn't want it to reproduce...?

 

[Dave_83]

I was watching tonight’s Brothers and Sisters (which is amazing by-the-way), and one of the brothers wants to start a family with his wife. But he’s sterile. So he asks his gay brother for his sperm. At first the gay brother said no, but by the end of the episode he changed his mind.

So I asked myself would I give my bother my sperm if he was in need. I’m 99% sure I wouldn’t. I don’t think I would be able to watch my brother raise my child. So, I ask you:

Would You Give Your Brother Your Sperm?

Of course I would. I DONT like where you said " I don’t think I would be able to watch my brother raise my child. " That bugs me. JUST because it was your sperm doesnt make it YOUR "CHILD". You obviously didnt devolope any emotional attachment to this SPERM. Your brother would be the childs father and rasie him MAKING it HIS CHILD not yours. You were just the doner.

 

[Kurn]

I am surprised that so many of you guys are saying yes. Not unless you’re not gonna have anything to do with the child, how can you detach yourself from the fact that your niece or nephew is actually your daughter or son?

Why do you have to detatch yourself?? You can be a second daddy--or an "uncle" if you don't want to be too involved.
Actually, in many cultures, such arrangements are not at all unusual.
