[quote=Anonymous]This is bit off topic but might be something to think about.
While in college, there was this guy who was known to be a major donor. This is how he and few other guys were making few bucks to make the ends meet. The rest of us were always wondering how he passed the screening and what were the standards. He had all kind of mental issues. Second though - these days and age if you think it is anonymous then you might  to rethink the concept. If you at all follow media you see how people all the time "find their long lost or never knew they had" relatives through some genetic website or another. 
It is possible that in few years, gene banks will be so big that anyone will be linked to the next person in no time for no apparent reason.
Chances are that your donor might have contributed generously and at one point your child might find themselves in a situation of having endless amount of siblings.

There was this funny  Australian series on Netflix that made me think abut the guy mentioned above... the series is about a girl who as an adult wakes up to realizing that she has  100 siblings via sperm donation of father..

[quote]Sisters follows the story of Julia Bechly as her life is turned upside-down when her father, in vitro fertilization pioneer Julius Bechly, makes a deathbed confession that during his award-winning career as a fertility specialist he used his own sperm and could potentially be the father of hundreds of children. Julia decides to make the most of the situation and throws a family gathering where she finds out she has 
hundreds of brothers, but only two sisters: troubled children’s television star Roxy Karibas and belligerent lawyer Edie Flanagan.[[/quote]
