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?

Experiments on animals

Should they be allowed?

Humans have human rights, and cannot be experimented on unless permission is given. So why are animals not given these rights? What makes us better than them other than us being at the top of the food chain? Why should they be put through pain and suffering just so that women can wear make up, and we can cure foot fungi.

Even medical experiments, why aren't they tested on humans then if it's to benefit the human race. Hurt the animals to help the humans? Is that okay in this world?

Should the animals have rights as we humans do, or should we continue to abuse them to help our own race?
