This story is a "bit hard to swallow"
The whole case is weird but try to not laugh too much.
It goes along the lines of a woman performing oral sex on a man, then without his knowledge using the sperm to impregnate herself, then 2 years later filed a paternity suit which she won.
the Man tried to sue for theft of his sperm and that has been rejected by the courts, however he can sue for distress.
The discussion point is:
In the highly unlikely event that a woman became pregnant in this way, and they hadn't had full sex....is the man morally responsible for the child?
In cases where two people have full sex and a baby results, both parties hold shared responsibility. It's not like we don't know how pregnancy occurs. A defence along the lines of "she told me she was on the pill" won't cut it.
For myself personally I would want to be a father to any child that held my DNA no matter how it came to be. Of course I view this hypothetically because I am a very loyal to my wife and don't approve of cheating, so for this experiment I would have to be a single man.
I do however have a problem with accountability issues here because by just having oral sex the man is not risking getting the woman pregnant (one would hope he at least returned the favor)
The problem is also one of who should pay for the child if the mother can't and the father is not responsible because he didn't have full sex ...the state? (please bear in mind I believe that no child should suffer because of the irresponsible actions of their parents)
I guess this is a lesson for any single person or married person that strays..... THINK WITH YOU BRAIN FIRST...your dick second.
