Man donated Sperm to Daughter-in-Law

[kkmalaysia]

I came across a news in one of the local newspaper in my country. There is a Man from Britain who donated his sperm to his daughter-in-law because the infertile couple want their child to have greatest genetic similarity with the family. The son of the donor does not have any brother so this man donated his sperm to make his "granchild".

It is diffficult for me to accept this personally. I would prefer an anonymous donor than a known donor especially the donor is the "grandfather" of the child. How the child is going to cope with this confusing identity?

What do you think?

I also having problem to conceive. I understand how the couple feels and I think that 's the best for them. It is acceptable for me. What they want is just a zygote which is genetically similar within the family.

this sounds really weird, i personally won't decide for such thing if i were in her shoe. but on the other hand, this sounds better than having sperm donors from those you do not know at all.

At least they aren't blood related. That would really be wacky!
