IS it a sin to donate sperm for maybe adopting parents,because you are not killing the baby or preventing life,just simply allowing parents who cant have children,to have children?

:confused:
 
I dunno, but I think that it IS a sin to donate sperm so that a woman can become pregnant outside of the marital embrace.

Sounds like it’s a bit of “playing God” there. If God willed for her to become pregnant the way that He made our bodies to work – including the relationship between the woman and the man part, then she’d become pregnant.

If a couple want to adopt a child, then that’s good – very good.

If a couple want for the woman to become pregnant by a man other than her husband because that other man donated his sperm – then that is NOT in the context of the family comprised of the father and the mother.

And this requires for the man who is donating his sperm to masturbate – which is NOT a holy act – no matter what the perceived good might be from his doing so.
 
How are you going to get the sperm to donate it?
And how would the donated sperm be used?

It’s immoral, on both counts.

Fair enough,but the reason for not masturbating is that you will be preventing life(murder)…but when the sperm is used and does NOT die,then i cant see how on that occassion that is a sin…i DO agree it is a sin,but im only asking a question!

It’s unnatural and undermines the marital union.

It relegates conception to our whims and not God’s.

Yeah, I think it is. One reason because of the method of acquiring the little guys. Another reason, because you may be leading someone else into sin by providing means of conception outside of marital relations.

Yes, it is a sin to be a sperm donator. It removes the creative process from the sexual act. Also, it introduces a third party into the creative process of procreation. Procreation and the marital sexual act is the means inteded by God for creation of life.

Now, as you have stated, this act is self pleasure at its basic roots. Although it is not, in a specific sense, a “wasting of seed”, it is still gross and a perversion of the sexual act in itself by removing the act from normal sexual relations.

According to John Paul the Greats Theology of the body, and act that in itself removes the procreation from the sexual relations of normal marital actions is considered imoral.

Sorry, but I hope this helps.

One more thing to think about…as a sperm donor, you have no control really of who recieves the sperm. This may be used to allow homosexual couples, unmarried women, etc. to become parents of your child. Just my thoughts.

Abso-Smurf-ly

#1 masturbation is a sin

#2 It treats a child as a commodity.

#3 There are not background checks on parents wanting Sperm, right? Who would want their biological child abused or neglected or raised as a Satanist, or reared by drug addicts, or even aborted? The parents could be a lesbian couple, or unmarried, or the sperm coud be used to create embryos for stem cell research, heck you never know.

Sperm or egg donation sounds loving and giving on the surface, but beneath lies immorality and, I hate to say it evil. One should never sin because they think good will come out of it. It might sound heartless, but a couple who can’t have children and wants them should adopt, not use extreme measure such as invirto fertilization, serrogate mothers, and artificial insemination. I know people are desperate, and it’s sad when a couple can’t conceive, but these extreme measures are not compatable with Catholic doctrine.
 
As I understand, most sperm donors are college students looking to make a few extra bucks. The bank will keep their sperm until they get a career, then advertize it in their catalogs as “donor is a doctor” or something like that to appeal to the potential mothers about how wonderful their child’s pedigree will be.
 
According to Catholic teaching, artificial insemination is a sin, even if done by married couples, even if the sperm was harvested in anticipation of cancer treatment or some other medical condition that will render the husband sterile.

Therefore, anything that facilitates the sin of artificial insemination is also a sin.

It is a sin because in order to donate you must do an impure act. You are also allowing your semen to then be used in artificial insemination which is also a sin. Lastly, I do not think masturbation is a sin because you will be preventing life. I believe it’s a sin because it is misusing our sexuality as God intended us to use it. God wanted us to be united with our spouse through sexual intercourse. By masturbating you are abusing your sexuality because it can never be unitive.

If it’s contribution to in vitro fertilisation then most probably yes. If it’s for scientific purposes, then probably not. But I’m no expert. And masturbation is a sin, so unless you’re collecting sperm from marital intercourse or spontaneous night pollution, there’s also this problem.

Masturbation is a sin, except when used as a prelude to intercourse in a marital union. Is masturbation allowed in marriage?

ex-mo

@ex-mormon: Masturbation leading to ejaculation outside of the wife’s vagina is still sinful. This is one. Next, masturbation defeats the purpose of marital union. It’s a selfish act and contradicts self-giving. Autoerotic motives have no place in the celebration of a total union. I don’t know who first came up with the idea it can be licit as a kind of foreplay, but it sounds wrong. Any papal document ever confirming something like that? The Catechism doesn’t make such differentiation.
