"Mr Durov claimed he is the “official father” of six children with three different partners, but the clinic “where I started donating sperm fifteen years ago to help a friend, told me that more than 100 babies had been conceived this way in 12 countries.”
Most developed countries have some kind of limit, but apparently there’s a lot of variation due to exporting and poor communication.
I don’t understand why anyone would want donor sperm to be honest. I know people who have done it and I don’t want to pry, but if I’m creating a child I’d want to meet the person who will be providing half of their genetics. If I didn’t know anyone I liked enough or that was willing to assist, I think I’d adopt. I just can’t imagine the kind of person who donates sperm would be the kind of person that would want my child to be related to. What kind of person thinks “I should have kids with people I’ve never met”? I understand a lot of people are grateful for donors and would not have a family without them, I just know a lot of awesome people and none of them have ever donated, so that says something to me.
Well donor sperm is one thing but the sperm of a guy who donates sperm because he thinks his genes are the prime shit and likely bribes this “so called friend” to help him disseminate his genes via whatever shady practices…gives me shivers yikes. This was clearly some sort of informal contract with the guy realizing this billionaire’s ego and playing into it to get donations from him or whatever. I am sure he also donates to studies like uploading consciousness to digital media or cryonics because he thinks he is the main playa who should live forever and everyone else is an NPC. Well just stick that money up somewhere and die already, thanks.

Are you even supposed to have this information?

“He said a doctor told him that it was his “civic duty” to donate his “high quality donor material,” which he did over the course of 15 years.”
Thank you for the extra information. The fact he’s doing free IVF is almost worse? I get how it’s “better”, but it definitely feels “worse”.
