Sperm donors

Many cases are coming out now, where men have given a sperm donation in the past, to a woman that wants a child. They then had nothing to do with the child, which was agreed to. It was supposed to be completely anonomous. The man did not want a child and did not agree to bring it up or to have his details given out.

However, now some children are finding their biological fathers, even though they were produced through a sperm clinic.

Is this right?

The father's did not want to be found, and wanted no responsibility. They did a nice thing in the past, and gave some woman a chance to have a child. So if it was agreed that it would be anonomous, why can the child now find their biological father? Is this right?

Will this stop men from donating in the future?

Contraception in Schools

Youngsters of fifteen and sixteen have easy access to contraception at schools. In sex education and often, PSHE (Physical Social health Education) a youngster can simply ask for condoms and advice on the pill without their parents consent.

Should this be allowed? Of course, parents are outraged that their children can be given contraception at school as it is an encouragement for them to have sex and underage sex. On the other hand, how many pregnant teens would there be today if youngsters didn't have access to condoms and other contraceptives?

Should parents be told? Or should parents have to give consent for their child to receive contraceptives through school ? Or do we accept that the child is acting responsibly by using contraception and hope that they will take care of themselves?

Adoption by same-sex couples

Is this right?

Of course there is nothing wrong with same-sex couples wanting to have children, but does this pose problems for the child in later life? Would they perhaps getting bullied for having two fathers or two mothers? Or do we live in a society today, that does not discriminate against homosexuals.

Would too many children be on the adoption list, and in care without same-sex couples being allowed to adopt?
Besides, they are still people, very capable of looking after children.

Should they be allowed to adopt?

Hitting Children

Should parents be able to 'slap' their children or harm them in any way?

Is that child abuse? Does it encourage them to do serious damage?

Should they be able to his their children in private to keep away from humiliation? Is it fair to say that they are child abusers for 'clipping them around the ear' like they would have years ago?

Is their any other way to stop your children from misbehaving? Do they listen to just being shouted at? But does this make it right to harm them physically and would that lead to harming them emotionally?

How far can you go before it's abuse.
