Here is a story that declares beware all over it. Attention those using sperm donors - do it right or this could happen to you.

"A sperm donor who helped a lesbian couple conceive two children is liable for child support under a state appellate court ruling that a legal expert believes might be the first of its kind in the U.S.

A Superior Court panel last week ordered a Dauphin County judge to establish how much Carl L. Frampton Jr. would have to pay to the birth mother of the 8-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl.

There seems to be quite a bit of an uproar over the case involving the woman of sick twin daughters, who were conceived via sperm donation. Some are saying that she signed on the dotted line, and some are saying that the clinic is obligated to provide her the information on the donor. What do you think? I think that the system regarding donations needs to be overhauled but via the clinics and agencies, not via the legislatures where the real issues are often misunderstood.
