What does "liberal culture" have to do with sperm donation?

• apta 7y ago
  Conservative cultures don't allow this practice, they generally still strongly hold to the family as the building unit of society, whereas this practice continues to dismantle it. We're ending up in a society where people don't know who their offspring are, and where children don't know who their real parents are. This is untrodden ground, and may very well have extremely serious consequences.

    i really don't see why. back then there was no IVF and donor sperm would be a way for good old fashioned conservative couples who cant conceive to have the children they always wanted

      A conservative couple won't use a sperm donor. The woman will literally be carrying another man's child, not her husband's.

        What makes you say so? They wouldn't adopt a kid too? I don't think it's a "left" issue at all for couples. For single mothers, maybe

          Adoption is different if done properly. The adopted child should not in anyway be implied or declared to be of the same bloodline as the adopting parents, otherwise we'll end up with the same issue seen here. It's also important that the child know that they're adopted from early on, and not hide that fact. Whereas artificial insemination is literally having the woman carry another man's child, it goes against conservative values (would they let another man sleep with the woman to impregnate her if there weren't artificial insemination?)
