Perhaps the system could benefit with a modest amount of regulation?
- powerbroker 7y agoA new law is going into effect on Sept. 1 in Texas that makes a doctor criminally liable for using a sperm other than that which was bargained for. It seems to me that collecting the evidence on this could take a long while, if the Mom of the newborn has no reason to suspect the doctor of doing shenanigans. I haven't checked what the statue of limitation is yet.

I wonder how the doctors felt when they were discovered? Lawmakers don't need to make a law against it they just let the children sue for back child support. That will stop the practice real quick. :)
