If you were 34, manless and childless, would you use a sperm donor?

Question

Or do you think this is selfish

What are the thoughts?

Answer 1

i say if you are single you should go out into the world find a guy thatt will treat you right and see where things go with him and then you wouldn't need sperm donor.....

Answer 2

Every good person in this world deserves to have the experience of being a parent if they choose. For anyone on here to tell you that you are selfish for considering a sperm donor is ignorant and close minded. I feel as though as long as you are sure you will be able to handle being a single parent and give the child a good life then go for it. You get one life and why in the h**l would you sacrifice your own happiness b/c other people think that is selfish. Going through pregnancy and then raising a child is the least selfish act in the world. I agree with those on here that mentioned adoption, however I also realize that some women want to experience pregnancy and adoption is an extremely long process. Just get prepared b/c pregnancy is no walk in the park so make sure you have some type of support system! Good luck to you and go have yourself a baby!

Answer 3

I don't get why people spend a bunch of money on artificial insemination. Why not just hook up with some guy you're attracted to, make a deal with him and do it for free? And have fun as well.

Answer 4

if it feels right go for it, don't care wut other ppl think cuz at the end of the day it is you who has to live ur life not them.  

Answer 5

No I wouldn't.  And yes, it's selfish.

Answer 6

No, personally I wouldn't. I think a child deserves to be born into a loving home with two parents.

But it I were 40 and in those circumstances, I might be considering adopting a child - not a baby.

Answer 7

Honestly,yes,I would.You're getting at the age where it'll start getting harder for you to become without complications.And for the first answer you received-the one from 'lovin my life- that was rude.That is not selfish.

Answer 8

I think it is just because a child needs a two parent home. Majority of children who have problems is because they came from a home without a father. I did and I am in therapy. Dealing with all my issues I realize its because I didn't have a man in my life.  

Answer 9

I think one question is would you want to be a guaranteed single mom from the start? Plus how would you explain that to the little one when it starts asking questions about its' daddy? You're still young, but I know you are feeling the pressures of the biological clock anyway. I would try a little longer to find SOS. If not, maybe consider adoption as an alternative also, there are a lot of kids already here that need loving homes : )

Answer 10

go for it !

Answer 11

I say give it a few more years. My mom was alone but she met my dad when she was 34, got married and had me when she was 36. It's not too late, so just be patient.

Answer 12

I would go the adoption route, personally.  There are way too many wonderful children waiting for a good home, whether it be a one-parent or a two-parent one....

Answer 13

no, but i would probably opt for adoption instead
