In England, people are buzzing about an interesting fertility story that's raising a lot of eyebrows. When his son couldn't have children of his own, he donated his sperm so his daughter-in-law could conceive a child...
Here's an interesting question for you: If your hubby's sperm wasn't viable to make a baby, would you ask your ... father-in-law to donate his so you could get pregnant?
That's what one couple in the Netherlands did, and the case made it's way into a report discussed in the journal, Human Reproduction. Yes, this means that the baby's legal father, would be the biological half-brother of the baby, and the grandfather would be the biological father.
While not illegal, most fertility clinics and experts caution the practice of intrafamilial assisted reproduction because it can cause confusion on the part of the child, and leave donors questioning their role in parenting.
What do you think? Would you do something like this, personally?
