I would imagine this has been called to your attention before now . . . but in case not . . . and for your other RAM friends who did not see it.
While reading The Playboy Advisor this morning (PLAYBOY April 2008) I came across a question from a reader who is interested in becoming a sperm donor. This person wants to meet the potential people he helps and asks Playboy how to do this.
In their reply Playboy lists several good reasons why knowing the person who receives your sperm is not a good idea, including the one where the recipient can sue and usually win support from the donor if he is known. They add this exception, and they add it in parenthesis, and so will I. (A notable exception occurred in January in Pennsylvania, where the state supreme court ruled that a man who donated sperm to a loved did not owe support. The justices said to rule otherwise would undermine women's right to use known donors.)

I've never understood it. If you can't have a child the usual way, why not adopt? It's not as though there's a shortage of kids that need homes.

Wow. I always wanted to be in Playboy. I think.
Now I have an excuse to buy a copy, and my wife can't get mad when I bring it home. "Look, Jan, I didn't buy it for the pictures. My case is in it." ;)
Thanks for letting me know.
I wonder if April's is still on the stands? It's now May. Usually they have July's out by now.

When I was younger, I used to know a lot. (Now, not so much) That was one of the factoids I was aware of.

I have a friend who gets it, I'll ask him. And Beeg just emailed a copy of the page in question. She said she got it off the internet. I wonder... ;)

Put wings on that and it still won't fly. But for a modest monthly payment to a Milwaukee P.O. address, I'll make sure that this stays between us and the one or two other people using Usenet.
