Are you on drugs???

That tech is barely three decades old, what orifice are pulling this notion of supposed second gen adult MH issues from?

And do you seriously think that sperm banks operate with no administration or record keeping at all? They're not like food banks; you don't just stroll in and walk out with any old load that fills your belly.

There's a huge difference between "identity disclosed" and "identity kept".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I was joking about that being the cause of Britain's mental illness problem but here are some sources about it [spoiler: anonymous donations aren't rare]:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...ldren.html

"Diane Beeson: Sperm donation has become big business and many sperm banks and fertility specialists have feared that ending anonymity of donors would reduce the supply of donor."
http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/...conception

"Now, there is growing concern among parents, donors and medical experts about potential negative consequences of having so many children fathered by the same donors, including the possibility that genes for rare diseases could be spread more widely through the population. Some experts are even calling attention to the increased odds of accidental incest between half sisters and half brothers, who often live close to one another."

The Daily Fail is like a gateway drug to the News Of The Screws and the whole "floods of loony left illegal immigrant aborted foetuses threaten property values" thing. It's like watching Faux News and catching yourself nodding in agreement; a dark and grim path.

Fuck I've quoted the Daily Mail once in my lifetime and I regretted it

Possibly; however it takes a lot of disinfectant to scrub out the stain of the right-wing tabloids.
