A report has appeared in Times of India that a couple have given ad asking for sperm of an IIT ian for artificial insemination. A boy studying in IIT is supposed to be very intelligent and it is presumed that a child of such a person will be intelligent. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Wanted-an-IITian-sperm-/articleshow/11488998.cms What is your view regarding this? Why they should not adopt a poor child ?

They still believed such thing will happen??? It won't give an guarantee that the child will be like his/her father. The child need to struggle to fulfill his/her parents needs otherwise everything the parents did will just be in vain.(^^)

Yeah, the way the child is brought up will show the child's future. Every parents want to give the best to their child but I don't think they have to go with this way. Better they put a lot of money for the child's care not for finding the good sperm. The father got no confident over his own's. A bit funny~

CTHanum: I am of the view besides sperm etc. it is the way the child is brought up that also makes or mars. You are right. The child has to struggle. Sometimes medication to mother or child affects the child.

The desire to buy the sperm like this is totally the humiliation of human race.It is right due to progress of medical science it is possible today to have a baby in this way.But our moral ethics do not give permission to buy sperm like this. I agree that they should adopt a poor child and brought him up in such an environment,that lead to that child to become a good person of society.

I normally do not have any views in another person's subjective issue.THis is whether they should adopt a kid or not.Regarding the other statement that an IIT person's child would be as brilliant as his father I have an opinion. One thing I am certain of in life is this. "WE CAN NEVER PLAY GOD"--this is my conviction.We do assume that clever parents do get clever children. When we searched for our brilliant son we did look out for a reasonably clever girl because he is a stellar performer.However, whether children would be exactly like their fathers is something that has to evolve over the years. THere may be a high probablility but so many factors come into play and it all depends on God's grace that would once again provide conducive circumstances.

kalav -- It is normally believed that intelligent people's child may be intelligent. For example an actor's son will know acting easily than other child. May be they have presumed like that. You are right. We cannot comment on subjective issues. I wanted to share the info to let others know the way the world runs.

Hi ravisivan: I agree completely with you. I mean, they could do it better just adopting a child who lives in poverty. At the same time, genetics are so complexed that I don't think that using the sperm of a wise man guarantees that the kid will have the same skills of the father. ALVARO

starsailover: Thanks for your response. Adopting an orphan child may help both the parties. But the parents may like to get a child of their own.

Intelligence is only a small part for anyone to be successful in this world. There are several other aspects and this thought that an IITian's brain has it all is folly to say the least.

You are right. Somewhere I read in that paper itself -- some people who studied in IIT itself are not well placed. Some who have not studied in IIT are more intelligent and do well in business and jobs.

I just remembering the biology of genes, that there are two kinds of genes of one dominant other which has better character. So these couple think that if the intelligent person sperm will help help in getting an intelligent child. This is ture but there are various things that also control the genes and the chromosomes which build the character in the human. Environment and the way of living with children nurishing ect also effect these. If a person living in hot area will have different evolution then those in cold even with same kind of genes or ect. So it also matter that in family how child is nourish it also let grow. But if the condition is bad in family then the intelligent may go wrong. It is the mutation that is resposnible all new good or bad character in either human or other species. Now to to society today this world had gone insane they just want to enjoy the things. Sperm donation is not bad but adopting child is better as we alrady have too much of population here. If man is unable make her wife get pregnant then woman must left her and marry other guy and get child from him. This is ideas is fool one. I might thing that couple is in love too much or women have some kind of problem that not letting her leaving the man. Today even with dorzen of children men and women get seperated without region. There is valid resason for woment to left man and marry some other guy and taste motherhood. I support your child adoption sugesstion, it is good one. I think of women not want to left him the man then she must adopt a child and nourish child as he/she is her own. It is perfect way of having child and not by sperm artificial insemination.
