It's the end of the world as we know it...

Politics, philosophy, the law, current events, left leaning debates, religion, baseball, football, pop culture, growing up Greek, random events in my life...whatever hits my mind at the time.

Man who has oral sex cannot sue woman for theft because the sperm were hers to keep...

"She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift -- an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee. There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request."

And people wonder why I love the law...

    Someday somebody's going to break into a sperm bank...or perhaps it's already happened...

    Wow. I feel really bad for that man. I mean, who thinks they have to be that careful with their spooge, or else someone else take it and create a child with it?

    I agree it's not "theft" per se, but I also agree with the court that he should be allowed to sue her for whatever distress arises from the fact that she basically harvested his sperm to create a life he didn't want a hand in creating.

    And screw the chick's attorney, as quoted in the last paragraph. How's the kid supposed to feel when he/she is told that she was created not by a loving couple who wanted to bring her into the world, but by a conniving woman who stole spooge and used it against the father's will?

    Ever watch "Legally Blonde"?

    You should, in one scene, sperm deposits were discussed in the legal sense and she won her case.

    It was a fucking riot. In fact, I love the whole damn movie.
