I’m upset I know the logic here isn’t totally flawed but I don’t think it is… I’m a (27m) with no major health conditions in my family or with myself. I am fairly in shape, I don’t drink a lot, I don’t smoke really ever, and have what I would consider a good moral compass… I am having some issues with my job with hours being handed out and the price of rent being raised and I was trying to find ways to make some more money! So I find out that sperm banks give out average $100 every time that you donate considering you pass the screening. So in my mind I’m thinking hell yeah! A hundred bucks for something THAT simple?! It’s highway robbery! I go and take the screening and I have to mention in there that I stutter. It doesn’t come out all the time, but I’m not going to lie to them about that no matter how severe or not severe. I wait a day or so and get the test back and they say that I didn’t pass the qualifications. Out of my curiosity I email them and ask why? They came back and told me it was because of my speech impediment… and I’m on the verge of breaking down in my bed this morning. I know the logic is flawed here but… am I just supposed to not have kids? If a sperm bank wouldn’t take it then why should anyone else? Like… the oddities of passing a stutter on to the next generation COULD be high and it probably is! But wtf am I supposed to do? Just never have children because of the possibility of having to deal with the same shit I deal with? I get that I’m throwing a pissy party but at this point I don’t care. Can science find a cure for this please?
