Default California sperm donor at odds with federal regulators

OAKLAND, Calif (Reuters) - An electronics company engineer who the U.S. government considers a one-man sperm bank has fathered an estimated 14 children through free donations of his semen that he advertises over the Internet.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says the San Francisco Bay-area sperm donor poses a threat to public health and has ordered him to stop or face up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

This is interesting.

He's donated sperm over 300 times, to almost 50 women, free of charge.

He's not running a business.

If he was having sex with the women, the government wouldn't bat an eye.

Most sperm banks limit the amount of times an individual can donate or how many people said sperm are distributed, due to obvious reasons.

This circumstance brings up an interesting point and raises good questions.

But does the government have the right to tell someone 'you can't give your sperm away anymore'. And if they have that right, do they not also have the right to say 'you can't have unprotected sex anymore'?

LOL. I'm not blond, I'm a redhead. But a 'redhead moment' usually involves flame throwers.

A friend once told me..."Your life is chaos. It's fun chaos, but it's chaos!"
