Am I the only one seeing a potential problem here? Any person who is named as the father of a child should be the biological father. It protects the child's right to identify any potential health risks/problems that may arise in the future and also ensures the stability of the gene pool. Could you imagine in the future if women who have had IVF and have used a sperm donor, claimed that Joe Bloggs was the father, when in fact Donor Number 12345 is actually the father. No one knows how many children Donor 12345 has fathered or where those children are. Incest comes to mind. It's not right and it's also one of the many reasons humankind shouldn't be messing about with creating life that wasn't meant to be.
