11/28/2007: "Sperm donor choice law incites furor"

A BIZARRE row is set to erupt over claims that reproductive donors will be given the right to direct their sperm or eggs not go to certain groups such as Muslims, Jews, single mothers or lesbians.

Critics believe the NSW Iemma Government's Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill allows sperm and egg donors to specifically discriminate against ethnic, religious and other minorities.

The Bill, due to be debated in the NSW Legislative Council, is primarily aimed at allowing donor-conceived children to access information about the donor parent when they turn 18.

[ Wait, we own your sperm... even if it is a blueprint for you... now it's our property, and we want to sell it to whoever has the cash, even if they're not from a group that should breed with it. ]
