If the adult child finds out what happened, and the insemination doctor is still alive, is the child then entitled to a part of the doctor's (future) heritage?

If the adult child finds out what happened, and the insemination doctor is still alive, is the child then entitled to a part of the doctor's (future) heritage?
Or if the child finds out when it is still small, or a teenager, will the child be entitled for child support payments from the doctor?
- Scoundreller 7y agoFor the inheritance, not if there’s a will. But not all countries let you disinherit your children.
- tluyben2 7y ago> But not all countries let you disinherit your children. For me it is very weird that some countries do allow it. I did not ask to be born.
- alistairSH 7y agoOn the flip side, once you reach maturity, why should you have any right to the estate of your deceased relatives?
- tluyben2 7y agoBecause they decided to put you here while you had no choice? What does maturity have to do with anything? Many people of whatever age have issues taking care of themselves. Not after being deceased but where would Trump be without getting bailouts from his fathers estate? I guess it depends what you are used to anyway. For me it seems weird as I am born in a country where it is illegal to cut your spouse and kids, for you it does not.
- geggam 7y agoEver thought you werent around to ask about your choice in the matter ?
- tluyben2 7y agoSure, which is the point.
- geggam 7y agoSo you would rather not exist ? Have you seriously sought counseling ?
- stallmanite 7y agoI take it you are not familiar with antinatalism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinatalism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinatalism
- geggam 7y agoSo an entire group needs counseling ? The desire to end ones gene pool is not mentally sound but is a self correcting issue I suppose.
- stallmanite 7y agoYes an entire group definitely needs counseling.
- alistairSH 7y agoMaturity matters only in as much as at some point most societies assume you’ll be able to care for yourself (and your parents have no more legal responsibility to fund your life). 18 in the US. I suppose if your standpoint is “I’m due their assets because they made me” that’s fine. I’m not sure I agree, but it’s a valid view. My own perspective, I’m a functional adult. Inheriting my parents estate would be nice, but if society decided tomorrow that estates all went to solving childhood hunger, I wouldn’t lose any sleep. Edit: I’m only talking about inheritance. Child support exists for a reason and should continue to do so. In the case of illegal, anonymous sperm donors, they should pay it like everybody else.
- liability 7y agoIf you loath life so much, there is a simple solution. Or you could just quit your belly-aching and find a way to appreciate being given the opportunity to live at all instead of demanding fiscal compensation!
- traderjane 7y agoI believe that rights should exist when we believe they make a nation more prosperous, so this is ultimately an empirical question. Rights are a matter of national design, and not spiritually inalienable qualities. Should a person have the right to keep and bear arms? Data keeps the delineations of design honest.
- Fnoord 7y agoHere in The Netherlands it is possible, but only for 50%. So if you have 3 children, and you disinherit one (which is morally defend-able under certain circumstances) then that one gets (1/3) / 2 = 1/6 and the other two get 2/6 + 1/12 = 5/12 (or 4.5/6). In percentages that is 16,66666667% and 41,66666667%. I find it a fair middle ground.
- lxmorj 7y agoThe only way to cut out little Johnny is to have a few dozen more kids, then!
- Scoundreller 7y agoOr die broke because you gave everything away before you bit the dust.
- mirimir 7y agoYes, the child or guardian could sue to establish paternity. If established, there would be child support, and inheritance rights.[0] The man currently considered the father could also sue to challenge paternity.[1] 0) https://family.findlaw.com/paternity/chronology-establishing-paternity.html https://family.findlaw.com/paternity/chronology-establishing... 1) https://family.findlaw.com/paternity/challenging-paternity.html https://family.findlaw.com/paternity/challenging-paternity.h...
