There was, maybe still is, a tv drama downunder where an IVF doctor impregnates lots of women. I wonder if Louis gave the creator the idea for the show?

The sheer volume of children is certainly an issue, the idea of accidental incest is horrifying. In the show the Dr's daughter by his wife had just had a one night stand just prior to her father's confession. When all the potential siblings turned up for dna testing, he was one of the people and both parties were horrified at what they had done.

In general I see no problem with sperm donation, or eggs for that matter, but to do it deliberately, in order to get children at some later date seems creepy. It would also be very strange to know you have so many siblings out there.
