I would like to donate sperm for aulturistic reasons.
I'd like to be able to give some unknown couple the possibility of becoming parents.
Because of the relationship I was in, I felt it would be unfair to my partner to donate when she and I couldn't have children.
Now I am single it's back on my mind.

Sure, I would like, 20 years down the line or whatever, to find out that my sperm was used and I have helped a couple have a kid or more, but I don't know if I would like to meet them.
What if I do marry someone who can't have kids, or we have kids and they die, how is my wife going to react to someone turning up on my door saying they are my son or my daughter?
And if I do have kids, how would they react to having an older brother or sister?
Worst case scenario it tears the family apart, as what happened when my aunt was contacted by her son who she was forced to give up for adoption.
Now she recieved a letter from the agency telling her that her son would like to get in contact, so the final choice was hers.
If this method is used for donors, then I don't have a problem with it. If I get a letter saying that my donation would like to get in contact, and give me the chance to talk it over with my family, then decide, I'd be happy with that.
I think a lot of people would.
But if the donation is freely given the ability to contact me directly, without warning, then I can see that causing a lot of problems in a lot of cases.
