Sperm donation and Christian parenting
from CNE's Newsround Europe · host Menno Hofman, Henk Jochemsen, Evert van Vlastuin
The donor-conceived Menno Hofman and the Christian ethics professor Henk Jochemsen debate about sperm donation.Hofman himself was conceived from donor sperm, too. And he has "roughly 25" donor children apart from the direct three in his own family.Hofman is a Christian theologian. His ethical motive is in helping other people, especially intended parents who long for a child.Henk Jochemsen is very sceptical about the practice of sperm donation. He thinks it speaks against the Biblical model in which parenthood is a unity, not just a selected act of giving sperm.Apart from that, he thinks there is a risk of inbreeding, since the half-brothers and -sisters do not know each other.
