Well………..maybe we should just wait to see what Sweden does?

I agree. The donors should have the right to decide if they want to reveal personal information. The new law is plain stupid, and I can’t see the point of it. What are they trying to achieve by this?

Yup, soon we will have many people who have grown separetely in separete families but are related with each other, then happen to meet each other and get married (was an issue in dr. Phil )Perhaps that is the point of the new law, getting interesting topics into Päivärinta

Oh, and another point it may have is that men will donate their fluids in erotic boutiques, thus supporting the sex shop industry .

I completely agree. Politicans should stay out of this and let professionals take care of this.

Hah. That’s still nowhere close to Sweden. If my memory serves me right , a man who donates sperm in sweden is not only forced to reveal his name…this is the best part, if the mother of the child wants to, she can make the biological father pay support till the child becomes 18.

“Advanced Finnish Biotechnology” by infinndel
The new sperm bank laws in Finland, are but the start of future intense profiling and selection of prime FINNISH sperm.
In the not too distant future,all Finn male citizens will be required to provide proof of genetic purity of sperm,by providing their family
history.Only those males that can document authentic FINNISH family lineage will be allowed to disseminate their genetic potential…
Thus ensuring Finnish genetic territorial imperative,a Brave New
World..

selection of prime FINNISH sperm

only extreme welfare state sperm will be used.

only completely brainwashed sperm with the belief that taxes are good will be used

only sperm that will propagate the Finnish war by Human Shield goal will make it to a user.

only sperm that can waive a white flag of surrender will survive.

The test is here.

Winter should be whipped back to sperm and be fucked again.

Winter is just stating the obvious. You clowns, with high taxes, can’t seem to have any wealth, that allows you to do good in this world. Instead you breed a welfare state of non producers, who bleed the producers dry.

By the way, any Billionairs yet? None, well get some.

Imagine…a land of Finnish SPERM BOMBS!!…

One Finnish infinndel sperm to another:
“Things are getting to close for comfort,please give me some wiggle room!”

Finnish sperm swim faster then Swedish or RRRUUUSHIAN sperm,winning the olympic semen swimming race….but the result: imprisonment in tubular rubber population control device…

winter any brains yet? None well I can sell you a pair of monkey brains you interested

why they like to decrease population iven more?

#7: Yup. And anybody who jerks off watching Top Gun is excluded.

Now watching Serenity, the series. Way cool gun slinging. Beats “STAR WRECK:IN THE PIRKINNING” for special effects. Plus the evil empire is larger.

16. Agreed. The cancellation of Serenity was one of those colossal mistakes made by major media, akin to the cancellation of the original Star Trek series, and the introduction of New Coke.

By the way, any Billionairs yet? None, well get some.

How close are you over there in Billionaire-Land, Mr. Winter, to being a “billionaire?”

Just watched Alien vrs Predator. Now thats a cool movie.

Well written. This kind of mess results from the weird need of our politicians to make laws for everything. Had they let the professionals do what they do best the fertility treatments would have continued the same way as they’ve done all these years since the procedure was invented. There was no problem that needed to be addressed, yet our politicians have introduced us a law that could possibly force our fertility clinics to close their doors. Simply marvellous work, once again.

And to think that our lawmakers knew well about this “little” problem, it didn’t stop them from pursuing this stupidity. All the way since 1980s politicians from both sides had wanted this law, with liberals wanting to preserve the right of single women and couples for IVF while conservatives wanting to ban pretty much all. But even though the progressive side fought a good battle protecting the rights of all treatment receivers, they apparently didn’t much care about preserving the anonymity of donors. And when the law now has passed, it really looks like the following scarcity of donors will endanger the IVF for any woman.

I don’t know if the following link works, but what has happened to IVF in the UK after donor anonymity was taken away last spring is reported everywhere and it shows the roads we’re on. Scotsman article about how Scottish clinics closed with the lack of sperm donors. Quote: “really hard for staff to have to withdraw a service that’s been here for two decades” applies exactly the same to Finland. Thanks to genious British lawmakers, there’s one active donor in the whole of Scotland now… who thinks us Finnish men could be any braver?

Will we see our politicians come to their senses and overturn or radically change the law that could end IVF treatments in our country? I fear not. Those who voted this autumn for continuing to allow the treatments for single women and female couples are now happy, as they think they made a huge service to their rights. What they did in fact was only to preserve the status quo of the last two decades in this issue, but in addition to significantly worsen every woman’s chances of getting IVF treatment by ending donor anonymity. Can they realize this, before our clinics start to close their doors like they do in Scotland?

Ok, apologies for a lengthy post but one last thought. In Sweden where they also give IVF for lesbian couples and have a law concerning these matters they do allow the sperm donors to choose if they want to remain anonymous. Interestingly, one of ten donors there still agree to give their personal details so that the resulting child could come to check those after his/her 18th birthday if he/she so wishes. And I think I read that even though it’s over 20 years since they started the treatments, no one has yet come to ask. Seems like one of every ten Finnish donors might agree to give their details too, as it doesn’t require any legal commitments. If not, those Finns that need fertility treatments will have to travel to other countries with liberal laws or no legislation on IVF. At least the sperm donors there will be anonymous for sure!

To Finnpundit and Winter:

If you really want to brag about your pop-culture street cred, at least get it right. There was no Serenity TV series. It was FIREFLY. Serenity is the name of the ship Mal captained and also the name of the movie.

Can you two bozo’s do ANYTHING right?

Winter is a retard, I think he’s made that quite obvious… at least he sounds like the average uneducated American.

And yes… for the sake of argument look up Antti Herlin.
(And that’s in euros; 1.00 USD = 0.799070 EUR)

Take that to the sperm bank! Just don’t donate anything other than cash… I’d hate to be the woman who ends up with winter’s ejaculate and consequently puts another merit less soul onto this planet.
