Nightmare: 32 half-siblings

[Loud-living-dogma]

And people wonder why the Church disapproves of IVF, sperm donors, etc:

I’m 20. I Have 32 Half Siblings. This Is My Family Portrait. - The New York Times

The word nightmare does not appear in the article.

Way to slant the discussion from the get-go.

I think they are a beautiful bunch of people, and I’m glad they are alive.

What if they dated each other? Had children together? That’s 32 kids who don’t know their biological father, which is against Church teaching (to purposefully have a child who will not be raised by bio-parents). Sounds nightmarish to me, from the perspective of the children.

32 kids who don’t know their biological father

Millions of kids don’t know their biological father, including my own, who are adopted. I will reserve my outrage for more serious injustices.

You don’t think a man being a sperm donor (to 32 or even more children) s a serious injustice? Not even to those children?-

 

[Beryllos]

It is a sin. It is unjust. But if I compiled a list of the Top 10,000 injustices in our world, no, this would not make the list.

Those children don’t look very cheerful, I’ll grant you that.

Trying to remember where I said this was a top Injustice in the world.
