I watched the program on SBS last night too and having found myself in the situation in which we may need donor sperm, I empathise with anyone needing a donor.
I would love to give somone the opportunity to have a child by donating my eggs. The idea had never occured to me before, it's amazing what a few short weeks can do.
The thing that concerned me most last night about the program was the donor 'mothers' wanting such a big part in the child's life. Having never had children myself, perhaps I don't know what it's like to see a child of my own walking around and not being mine. So I'm wondering, is this a basic requirement for receipients to want to have the donor 'mother' involved so deeply in the child's life? To be perfectly honest in my consideration for being a donor, I couldn't imagine anything worse. I'd rather give the egg and be done with it. Are my thoughts abnormal?
