The subject has been brought up with me twice. The first time was a friend who was extremely fed up with men/relationships and I told her I didn't think it was right to purposefully raise a child alone (so she ended up having a meaningless relationship with a loser guy, got pregnant, married him, immediately divorced him, and now life is the suck....maybe I should have donated after all, at least the kid would have good genes). The second time was another friend who's in a commited lesbian relationship. I told her I'd consider it, but I'm torn. I don't mind the idea of it, especially since I know the kid would be well cared for and loved, but I'm not sure I would be ok not having any part in his/her life.
