It’s Monday morning and no one really wants to be awake, so it’s only right that distractions in the form of cog creaking questions should be made available to the work-shy and the anti-morning person population at large, and this week’s question is sure to turn bleary eyes sparkly with thought.
A court has just recently ruled that sperm donors may seek contact orders with their children. Whilst the ruling is protective of the immediate family unit (such a contact order can only be applied for if the donor knows the person they donated to), it will mean that people opting to use sperm donors will need to think about the new implications in doing so.
Our question to you this week, is, of course: do you think that sperm donors should have this right, in this context?
Possible answer: If we look at it from the perspective of the child, this decision could be a double edged sword. However, it could be argued that it is likely to be in a child’s best interests to know who their genetic parents are, regardless (in most cases), of the circumstances.

Morning Natasha, yes Monday morning and it is another day another month and another year that thousands of grandparents cannot nor never will see their grandchildren ever again, the courts only see the grandparents as just money, not only money but more jobs in a very corrupt system. So it is ok for the courts to give rights to the sperm doners, I do hope they are first police checked, we already have enough Paedos in the lifes of the children, and the court also said it is in a “childs best interest” to know the who their genetic parent is, my god these courts need bringing up to date, how can the courts sit in judgment of grandparents FORCING US TO PAY ABSOLUTLY THOUSANDS OF POUNDS, then the courts have the cheek to take our money say no contact then it is bye bye to our so beloved grandchildren bye bye to our money we worked so hard to save for our grandchildren with many grandparents selling their homes to pay legal teams, so who pays the court costs for the sperm donors to see the kids, Oh sorry the DONORS are paid to give
sperm not to use the money for the courts, thats free,? let me be the first to give donors their name as from today they are the SPERMFATHERS WOW WEE with the rights to a child that spermfathers got paid to produce and So the courts allow stepfathers, sperm fathers, and to hell with the grandparents, let us remember, the more kids produced by what ever means, then there are more kids to be taken into the CHILDRENS INDUSTRIE, all reading this remember grandparents will never ever be given rights to to give a warm loving home to our loved grandchildren, know why, well we are free and do not generate money into the childrens industrie.
And where are the childrens rghts in all of this, will they be asked, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET YOUR SPERMFATHER HE DID GET PAID TO PRODUCE YOU. OH SAID A LITTLE GIRL AND BOY WHAT DO YOU MEAN PRODUCE US, REPLY to the CHILDREN you are made for money not love.
SO WORLD REMEMBER WE NOW HAVE SPERMDADDIES/FATHERS.

It is a case which is very specific on its facts in my view. Definitely a case of unintended consequences if it gets applied to the AID scenario generally!
