If you accidentally had a black baby, would you keep it? (1 Viewer)

[SacramentoBob]

Spin-off from the Sperm Donor Required to Pay Child Support thread.

However, there have been cases where someone made a non-anonymous deposit at the sperm bank, and through clerical error, his sperm was given to the wrong person. It's happened a couple of times where the guy was then forced to pay child support (IIRC, black couple and white couple separately go to the same IVF clinic for help getting pregnant. Black guy's sperm accidentally gets given to both couples, and white lady gives birth to black baby. White guy doesn't want to live his life raising someone else's kid and files for divorce. Court says black guy owes support.)

So in this given hypothetical:

1) You are married

2) You are sterile or for some reason can't make a baby the old fashioned way.

3) You go to an IVF clinic and are your wife is accidentally given the sperm of a black man

Do you keep the baby?

Do you stay married?

[Wrigley]

WAT?

 

[DSP]

Hell no. Voted no on both questions. What man would put up with that humiliation?

Would be hard to lose the wife but the circumstances weaken the blow

 

[SacramentoBob]

WAT?

Would you keep the baby and would you stay married?

 

[bigbottom]

WTF? Of course the answer is yes to both.

 

[pollardsvision]

Yes. Mixed race children are better looking and more talented than all-white children.

 

[bigbottom]

Hell no. Voted no on both questions. What man would put up with that humiliation?

You seem like a mature, self-assured person.

If the guy doesn't want to live his life raising someone else's kid, why on earth is he at an IVF clinic getting a sperm donation so his wife can get pregnant?

 

[Scoresman]

this is going to be more one sided than my gay/fat poll.

It's my understanding that you can donate your own sperm to your wife if she is having trouble getting pregnant the old-fashioned way. So in that instance, he was intending to have his own kid and ended up with Colin Kaepernick instead.

I thought this thread was going to have to do something with swinging. Of course the answer is yes in this situation.

 

[Wrigley]

I voted to not stay married.

Okay, but in Bob's hypo, the guy is sterile. But I realize the OP is sort of a combination of two situations with potentially different premises.

 

[Kenny Powers]

If your wife is getting turkey bastered, I dont see why the race of the baby matters in this scenario.

 

[kutta]

I've always wanted to be black. This is probably the closest I'll ever get, so I say definitely yes.

 

[FDAS]

Will the baby yell at me like Richard Sherman at any point in his/her life?

It isnt clear if they were there for a donation or artificial insemenation using his sperm.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Yes, but only if he goes to Stanford and you root for Auburn over them in the championship game.

 

[bigbottom]

Also: "If you accidentally had a black baby, would you keep it?"

What would it mean to not keep it? Put it up for adoption? His mom may have a problem with that.

Actually, I see now that he may be sterile, or there may be some other problem.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Also: "If you accidentally had a black baby, would you keep it?"

What would it mean to not keep it? Put it up for adoption? His mom may have a problem with that.

Would you want to keep it? Also in the hypo you can be sterile or just getting assistance with your own sperm.

 

[Zow]

Also: "If you accidentally had a black baby, would you keep it?"

What would it mean to not keep it? Put it up for adoption? His mom may have a problem with that.

I believe in the facts of the hypothetical, the guy bailed - as in divorced his wife and cut contact. And, since paternity couldn't be established and the proper procedures weren't followed, the mom had no legal standing to pursue him for child support.

 

[Black Box]

So in this given hypothetical:

1) You are married

2) You are sterile or for some reason can't make a baby the old fashioned way.

3) You go to an IVF clinic and are your wife is accidentally given the sperm of a black man

Do you keep the baby?

Do you stay married?

Question: in this scenario, will my wife want to go back?

 

[Sweet Love]

Truthfully, it is not your biological kid anyway, so who cares what it looks like???

 

[T Bell]

Who says it's an accident?

Would I want to put the child up for adoption? Of course not.

My wife/son would only be so lucky to get a Colin Kapernick baby versus my average athletic genes.

at the "no" votes for not staying married outweighing the "no" to not keeping it votes.

 

[CBusAlex]

Well since the only point of having a wife is to provide an incubator for your seed, it would make no sense to stay married once she had been ruined for that purpose by contamination with another man's seed.

If it's Kaepernick's kid, I'm in. :gravytrain:. if it's the kid of any member of Bones, Thugs, & Harmony, I'm out.

Umm. The baby not being mine? If seeking a donation and got the wrong sperm, especially this wrong, why would I put up with that? If seeking a donation im sure they wanted a donor who resembled the father....I know I wouldBut if I was sterile id be fine with not having kids period

 

[Black Box]

Seems like I would cash in twice.

Once after suing the IVF clinic.

And again after my Colin Kaepernick makes the NFL.

I would think a "nightmare" situation would more akin to something like the doctor sexual assaulting your wife or something during the process. In this case there is merely a mistake (presumably) and your baby has different genes on the father's side. Your intended outcome is still substantially met and the two of you now have a child to raise.

No mature, self-assured person would divorce his wife over this.

 

[Eephus]

Mrs Eephus and I made two black babies on purpose

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I accidentally had 2 white babies so whatever.

You have a variable in your hypo that presents two markedly different scenarios. In one, the couple seeks IVF to assist with getting pregnant with their own biological child, but she is instead impregnated with a stranger's sperm. In the other, the couple seeks IVF to assist with getting pregnant through the use of a stranger's sperm, but end's up getting the wrong stranger's sperm.

It doesn't affect my answers either way, but those are very different situations that would present significantly different emotional reactions in most people.

Do they use an extra large syringe to inseminate a woman with a black baby?

Having the 'wrong' baby is your wife's fault? You leave you wife because there was a mistake by a fertility clinic? Please tell me you're not procreating. Please.

You seem to be particularly bothered that the baby is black.
