Unless you need a kidney, definitely. Sperm donors aren't looking to become parents, they're looking for quick cash.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of the kids who was asked said he didn't want a relationship, or money, just to ask a couple questions. It still seemed wrong. You can't unmeet, and if the guy was interested in knowing about kids of his, he'd have done it a different way.

With donors, all the medical information should be provided--so there's really no question that warrants breaking confidentiality.

Our wings are not tired.
Tomorrow I get up at o-dark-thirty to drive up to Tahoe for a day of skiing with the family.
Have fun!
That is all kinds of wrong. It has to violate the agreement. Men are not going to want to donate if the info is revealed.

What is even happening?

Are these adult off-spring, or minors?

Okay, so I'm going to a club. I can drink, right? South Beach aside, going to a club with friends warrants a drink or two? It won't totally destroy the whole diet concept and mean I have to start from scratch?

They were teenagers shown.
One of the mothers said she never signed anything about not trying to track down the father, although the clause is standard.
There's this website that says they facilitate mutual consent meetings. I wonder how many donors they've matched to kids?
Looking for your siblings seems like curiosity to me--looking for your parent is more like selfishness. Now, if the parent decides to make their info available, happy endings all round. I still think the kids are asking for trouble in many cases, and not just for themselves.

Vodka and diet tonic. With a bunch of lime, not half bad.

Oh right, because the tonic is chock-full of sugar, right? vw says that in phase two we can start having wine, so I may just try to stick to wine (however uncool it may be).
The next question is, what do I wear on my no-longer-the-size-I-was-when-clubgoing body?

I was just talking to a Dr. friend today about the sperm donor thing and we were both outraged at the movement. All sorts of wrong.
