Given how high risk this whole donor thing is, I’m surprised there is very little regulation around this process.

For one, It’s truly bizzare that they don’t regulate the number of kids from a single donor. I also assumed they would have some rigorous screening of genetic disorders such as this one before freely distributing sperm for insemination.

It should be regulated how many children can be born by a single donor.

This reminds me of the single conquistador with a cancer-prone gene, who's responsible for 1 in 300 Brazilians carrying that gene (https://aacrjournals.org/cebp/article-abstract/doi/10.1158/1...)

Some people are selfish and vain, not just billionaires. What else is new?

One can only hope some CRISP gene therapy would be developed to possibly help them.
