IVF: Using A Brother's Or Father's Sperm, Is It Right? by okabe(m): 3:46pm On Nov 08, 2014
IVF is an acronym for InVitro Fertilisation. This is a form of assisted reproduction technique that helps infertile 'couples' to achieve conception. I will spare y'all the medical jargons and go straight to the meat of the matter, here it comes...
Okay, hypothetically, say a middle-aged single woman(42yrs) wants to have her own child, probably because she is tired of waiting for 'Mr Right' (or for any other reason as a matter of fact). She is presented with a barrage of choices by her doctor and she opts for IVF. Now, the problem is how to get the sperm cells to fertilise her eggs...is it right for her to use that of her father or brother or any of her close relatives? I mean, is it legally, ethically, morally, culturally or religiously right for her to use sperm from any these persons?

I knw inbreeding does not translate to incest. I also dat incest is wrong in our part of the world, but what I dnt knw is weda inbreeding is wrong? (Given that no form of physical contact was made, just sharing of 'natural resources')

She should forget that. It still comes down to inbreeding, whether physical contact or not. What would she now call the child.

That is so wrong. That's like incest. The child will end up being an imb.ecile angry

If everyone decided to have his brother donate sperm there will be no sperm bank.It is wrong and unethical as your brother might in the future have an emotional bond with the child and where does that place you?I will advice you look for a sperm donor
