More a shower question than a shower thought I guess, but still.

    Genetically, yes technically.

    Legally and Morally, no; and you’d be a complete asshole for trying to insert yourself into the childs life in any way. You gave up that ‘right’ when you donated your sperm/testicles.

      Legally, in some states sperm donors can be forced to pay child support. So, it might be more of a gray area than you think

          Nope, fucked up situation that has actually happened. Take it with a grain of salt though because I don’t remember any details

        I don’t know if this is correct or not, but it really feels like a bullshit exaggeration that white men spread to prove that they are the MOST oppressed people.

    Can you donate testicles?

    But the Internet says sperm are grown in the testes so I’d guess the kids dna would be yours.

      Genetically yes, but they wouldn’t have a responsibility for the child as is the case with sperm donors.

    Hhhhmmm my initial assumption was that the cells in your donated testicles would eventually be replaced by those with the host’s DNA. But apparently I’m wrong - after transplants you have to take immunosuppressants because the donated organs stay genetically foreign for the rest of your life. So yes, it seems like the sperm would carry your genes.
