Lessee, legally in Sweden, a sperm donor has no legitimate claims of parenthood. HOWEVER, he can be saddled with child support if there's proof that he shares DNA with the child. Sounds quite a lot like the state many fathers are in with the U.S. justice system, doesn't it?
Disgusting.
Disturbing.
Depressing.
Good luck on your appeal, man.

I know where it's at for fathers to have to pay support for children they have no contact with; I share this condition with them.
My concern is how the rules are being changed after the fact. My concern is how nothing is being done to protect our young childless men from getting caught in a situation they didn't know could happen.
It surely is a life altering event even a disaster to get stuck with a huge bill and especially one of this kind. It is no longer optional to sire only; coneption itslef is becomming equal to fatherhood and its obligations. Yet far more potentially disastrous events await us around the corner. Cloning technology is advancing profoundly and in time, with a single drop of blood, I could, in absentia and post mortem, father a nation. Who is to say how the conception took place or if I consented at all.
Male consent has been done away with. We are in a period in which ejaculation has become consent.

... or maybe too little sun at this time of year. I'd love to say "only in Sweden," but God knows where this will happen next. It's hard to believe it could stand up on appeal. If it does, I don't think there will be too many artificial inseminations happening in Sweden.
The judge is addlepated, but the real villain is the mother who sued the sperm donor. I can't think of a better example of sleaziness and lack of honor ... at least not since Bill Clinton left office. :-)
Don't sperm donors have to sign some sort of release agreeing not to claim paternity of their child? I would have thought they would be exempt from claims for child support. Does anyone have any idea how this works in the US and whether there is any case law regarding such issues?
It will be interesting to see what gay activitists have to say about this, since the judge's ruling, in effect, implies that the lesbians' relationship did have the same validity as a heterosexual couple.

Even if you sign something with a woman saying that you will NEVER have to pay her money for the child, she can change her mind and win.
Men are, just like they always are, treated as garbage.

Nope, your wrong. It should be
Men are, just like they always are, treated as wallets.
