    I see this has sparked a decent amount of discussion, and that's always good. However, you've made an assumption that is, at least partially, incorrect. I would not mind meeting po…

    On the flip side of the coin, I was recently considering donating sperm anonymously and now I won't, unless there's some kind of legal protection against this. I (and my wife) do n…
