My wife and I have been childless for over five years. From the medical tests done, I was confirmed to have an untreatable case of low sperm count. A suggestion was made for my wife to be inseminated with another man’s sperm from a sperm bank. While I am happy at the possibility of my wife having a child, the idea of the child coming from another man is making me confused. Should I take the offer?

Having your wife to be inseminated with donated sperm is the best thing to do in view of your problem with low sperm count. Since the identity of the sperm donor is normally kept secret, you have no fears of any identity issue. Even, the psychological feeling of the child being from another man’s sperm will fade away over time.
