[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one child that is genetically DH and me and I cannot imagine that I would view a DE child any differently. I don't see myself or my husband in him honestly because he is uniquely himself. I don't think genes matter one bit. We are one and done because I can't handle the emotional and physical toll of any more infertility treatments but I would not have any issues with donor egg or sperm.[/quote] Most personality traits are highly heritable and so is intelligence. Of course this doesn't not guarantee anything and a child from older eggs/sperm is more likely to have disabilities even if parents are much smarter than donors. Still to say that genetics is irrelevant is to deny the last 50 years of science. For better or worse genetics is highly relevant and growing more relevant as we age. [/quote]
