For the Married Guys and Gals - moral question inside
No...Earth's population is already 6.93 billion...a shade under 7 billion.
There's plenty of children who would benefit from adoption.
You stole my answer!!!
I wouldn't have any problem with donating, if it went to someone I didn't know. If I would later see the child, and have another opinion about how to raise and treat it, that would be heartbreaking, so I guess that would be too hard emotionally.
But my true answer would be like Hector said: as long as there are kids out there suffering as orphans, I find it morally wrong to press Mother Nature into producing more kids. Save the ones that are here already first.
I have the same opinion about pets (not comparing kids and pets, ok?): as long as the animal shelters are full of unwanted pets, we should all adopt those instead of breeding more.

No, couldn't live with myself knowing there's a child that's part of me and I can't be part of their lives to influence and share with them.......and like what's been stated there are plenty of children waiting to have a good home and raised to be outstanding human beings.....
It seems you two are the last of your family blood and your brother wants to help keep the line going.
My nutty question is, would that child be considered a child of incest ? ....... Because many places consider a relationship between you and your sister-in-law incest.
I don't have a moral issue with it for other people but no, I couldn't do it or would want my wife to either. Just wouldn't like the idea of having someone with my genetic code that I didn't raise.

I would have no moral problem with it at all. You did say it was a very good friend, so what kind of a friend would I be to deny them a chance at some possible happiness?
Now my Wife on the other hand...might haven issues with it.
Nope ! Would not happen. for a brother was used in Bible times, but i would have to be a part of the childs life i helped father. so i'm glad that's not in use today as i wouldn't have wanted todeal with my sister's in law to help that way.
