Sperm-Donor Siblings: A Family Portrait
The essay&#x27;s author talks a little bit about how he and some of his half-siblings feel a sense of loss, or that something feels missing, or that they wished they had a father.<p>But the essay never really touches on whether they _resent_ the fact that their parent or parents made the choice to have them conceived through artificial insemination from an anonymous donor.  Obviously, if that hadn&#x27;t happened, they wouldn&#x27;t be around to resent it -- but it&#x27;s still possible to feel conflicted about it.<p>I&#x27;m sure there are some people who do carry that resentment and some people who don&#x27;t, and we often hear stories about the latter, but I&#x27;ve heard fewer stories about the former and would be interested to hear their voices and perspectives.
