Too bad for the kids
The Post magazine has put up its cover story for tomorrow, about a New England single mother, Raechel McGhee, and her two donor-conceived children flying out to California to meet the children’s donor, Mike Rubino.
…..McGhee went at her search backwards: having a child via anonymous male specimen, then once she found out who he was, “deep down” hoping that “something miraculous” might happen and she and her children’s sperm donor might “become a couple.”McGhee is a psychotherapist, so we might have expected she would understand the unreality of her own hopes with regard to Man #929, who spent a year, um, “producing specimens” in the sperm bank twice a week
…….Ultimately, whether or not this is its intention, I think the article does a good job of serving to question the whole notion of not only donor anonymity but also the third-party-donor business itself.
Moral ambiguity has a way of coming back to haunt us…. and topics long thought laid to rest will reappear in ways that give proof to “truth is stranger than fiction”.
“professing themselves to be wise, they became . . .professors.”

you are seriously too deep for me,but I like you- is good humour contagious?
good to see you:)
Man, what a nightmare.
Not “man”… the story.
I mean, not the “story”, but the actions of the woman in the story.
Yeah, that’s it.
