Sperm Donor Has Over 70 Kids
One sperm donor can potentially result in hundreds of kids – should the U.S. adopt regulations such as the ones that exist in the UK to limit the number? Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss.

Adoption should be made easier, and people should consider it more. Love is love regardless if it falls out of your womb ladies and also to the fathers!
When I thought about donating eggs I read that I could only do it 4 times. This limited the amount of “children” that would be produced by me and limit the chances of my offspring from getting together. Granted 4 donations does not mean 4 babies. Many eggs can be harvested each time (around 30 or so).
There really should be a limit. One guy, 70 kids…….that’s insane.
There should be regulations. Especially when these children will likely stay within same general area. It’s crazy!

Well if someone has over 70 kids spread across the country, there’s a small chance they could meet up and procreate. It’s a small chance, but it’s possible.
What’s more disturbing, however, is that if they continue to use very specific people’s sperm countless times, it spreads their genetics exponentially. If it got out of control, the gene pool could slowly thin out and who knows what might happen? (Worst case scenario something similar to “Children of Men”).
“This is madness”
No…THIS IS THE US
Regarding the Genghis Khan bit, I think it’s 0.5% of men in the world carry his Y chromosome. Which is still a ridiculously large number.
@MadMachinima When you hear about those cases where the mother and child are able to track down the father to get child support, it doesn’t seem unlikely for that information to go both ways.
I really don’t think this is a big deal. From my knowledge, genetic defects due to incest can only occur with full siblings who have identical heritage (same mother&father), half siblings and cousins should not be at a great risk.
LOL, Jayar is freaking awesome.
Are they going to discriminate based on DNA? Damned… I want my civil rights as an “ugly person”
Lol, he said it. I be waiting on Cenk to say “Of Course”!
@hellofromgod2001
I think it’s scarier that for some people it isn’t an accident.
A bunch of Cenk’s running around would be awesome. Kids with brilliant, funny, tall, and handsome genes. Why not?
As a geneticist… I don’t see why this is an issue.
Genetic inbreeding really only becomes a problem after 3 or 4 generations. Even then that’s for homozygous siblings. We’re talking about a small chance of having heterozygous siblings mating and conceiving. The probability for genetic inbreeding is absurdly low. In fact, there are many places around the world where heterozygous siblings DO conceive on a regular basis with very little issues. You don’t need over-reactive regulations for this.
The next story to break on this will be that most of the pictures and profiles are fake and that most of the sperm was from some homeless dude.
I love when Cenk says “OF COOOOURSE!”
Watch my EPIC VIDEOS!
Imagine waking up one day and finding out you have 69 other siblings
However Christmas and birthdays would be great
Identify the kids by the sperm donor’s number so they can remain anonymous if they so choose.
