Recently, the topic of #未婚女性不能使用精子库供精去父留子# has caused an uproar on the Internet. On the one hand, there are independent women who are eager to have children but do not want to be bound by marriage, and on the other hand, there are cold and strict laws and regulations, and the collision of the two forces has aroused heated discussions among countless people.
The cause of the incident has to start with the sperm bank. A sperm bank, as the name suggests, is where sperm is stored. In the spirit of helping others, sperm donors donate their sperm to help couples who are unable to have children for various reasons and realize their desire to become parents.
Sperm donation is not an easy task. Sperm donors have to go through layers of screening, and there are strict regulations on height, education, health status, and even the size of the tattoo area. According to statistics, only about 20% of those who can successfully donate sperm in the end can be called one in a million.
The existence of sperm banks was originally to help couples who were unable to have children, but in recent years, many unmarried women have also wanted to apply for sperm from sperm banks, they do not want to get married, but they are eager to have children of their own.
However, reality has poured cold water on them. According to the current laws and regulations in mainland China, assisted reproductive technologies, including artificial insemination and IVF, are only open to legal couples. In other words, unmarried women want to use the sperm from the sperm bank to get pregnant and have children, this road will not work!
As soon as the news came out, the Internet exploded. Some people applauded, believing that this was a maintenance of traditional marriage and a responsibility for children; Some people are indignant, feeling that this is a restriction on women's reproductive rights and a discrimination against independent women.
On the one hand, there are independent women who are eager to have children, and on the other hand, there are cold legal provisions, and it seems difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with unmarried women wanting to have children of their own. Times are advancing, and women are becoming more and more independent, and they have the right to choose the lifestyle they want, including childbearing.
However, the existence of laws and regulations also has its rationality. Marriage is not only a certificate, but also a guarantee for the environment in which children grow up. Growing up in a complete family allows children to receive more comprehensive love and care.
Of course, the law is not static, and it should be constantly improved with the development of the times. On the premise of protecting the rights and interests of children, it is worth pondering whether it is possible to consider appropriately relaxing the restrictions on the birth of unmarried women.
This incident is like a mirror, reflecting the conflict and collision of social concepts. We should not simply judge by "right" or "wrong", but should look at problems more rationally, and maintain social order and children's rights and interests while respecting individual choices.
I believe that over time, we will find a more balanced and humane solution so that every woman who desires to have children can have her own happiness.
