So weird that people go rogue on half of their kid’s DNA. No professional involved, no official records of his ID or health records, zero oversight. Some guy you found on the internet? Some women even have sex with these guys to conceive the kid.

I know the guy is nuts, but the parents have a screw loose too.

At least with adoption you are vetted in a million ways (mental health, finances, substance abuse, parenting training, etc).
I wish , for the sake of children, that ALL parents had to pass some criteria .

Why don’t those right-ti-life fanatics advocate for this (=quality of life after birth, not birth and then the kid is in their own)?

I'm a guy and do not consider myself a great judge of men's looks, but thought he was really ugly as well. When I showed my wife, she said he wasn't that bad looking. Obviously he has some appeal to certain women.

To me one of the crazier parts about the whole documentary is the women who used the natural method with him. WTF.

+1 My sister and her husband chose blue eyes because they both have blue eyes so it would limit questions.

This. DW and I (lesbian couple) used a donor with blond hair/blue eyes since she does and I am the bio mom (hate that term...but alas...) Oddly kid has brown hair/brown eyes like me but his facial features/mannerisms are all her.

It doesn't matter what he looks like, only that he is healthy and of above average intelligence.

PP here - well, he has those too.

Most of his inseminations were private, through websites where he met up with the women and handed off his sperm. The documentary showed how he set up the websites so that no matter which donor the women chose, they ended up with his sperm. Not through "private clinics" at all. There's no excuse for his behavior. It can't be blamed on private clinics.

It was both. The private donation scheme was local, but he was also maxing out donations at multiple sperm banks around the world. Each clinic had a limit on how many children a donor could father in one country, so once he hit that limit, they’d transfer his samples to another country. They did not monitor if the donor was active in other clinics, only relied on an unenforceable waiver that he was exclusively donating to them.

A man who also has some questionable ideologies about his sperm.

It’s completely normal to want children who look like you.

Haha, that blond hair and blue eyes is the ideal of beauty has nothing to do with white supremacy, ok.

+1

Why is blond/blue the white ideal? It’s because it’s ultra white/non ethnic.

There's a diagnosis for this, sociopathy and extreme narcissism.

In the UK there's a legal limit of 10 live births then they throw your sperm away and refuse to use it again.
Makes total sense.

There was a legal limit in these countries too. But this was private donations.

Then I believe that practice should be criminalized, when it exceeds a certain number too.

Not possible. People are allowed to reproduce without restriction if there is no sperm bank involved.

New laws are created all the time, hence possible.

Are you going to come for the quiverful families too? Automatic sterilized for all after you’ve biologically created 10 kids or whatever? Good luck with that.

You're leaning into some weird Nazi shit there.

And the recipients too IMO

Which is honestly uncomfortable to think about.

It is. What's wrong with people?
