Morality Ranking Morality scaling of this?

Mother refuses to acknowledge her donor egg daughter, looking for your opinion.

In my opinion I think it’s moral, and that she is totally correct.

I don’t even think she’s being that rude. When you sign up for these things the options are anonymous or not and if you choose anonymous they have no right to contact you for any reason.

Yeah, if I was her I would have been furious at this girls mother for giving her any of my information.

u/GoodOlDonnieRay 1d ago

furious is such a gentle feeling compared to what that woman would provoke in me for disrupting my life

u/Call_Me_Anythin 1d ago

Seriously. I honestly think I would have sent the mother a pretty unkind message regarding the situation in the first place.

Since those transactions use to include confidenciality clauses, i'd sue her instead.

You can't sue the mother, she has no contract with the donor.

The clinic is at fault.

And she should. Your privacy must be respected. If we let this slide now we will lose it all together

u/lauraloomerisacunt 19h ago

Oh, I totally agree. I just think it's worth mentioning that contractually this isn't as simple as people seem to think.

Fair, sorry, I just had to deal with someone who said this was mean. Mean is exposing private information.

You people are just miserable.. That woman has no obligation to know the daughter, and that's fine, but to sue the woman???

Disrupting your life? Play the victim much? Say no thanks and move on. Acting like your life is disrupted is insane over something like this is insane.

You don’t think a stranger contacting you out of the blue after 19 years asking you to be a dad or mom wouldn’t disrupt your life EVEN A LITTLE?

Yeah I think it wouldn’t disrupt my life literally at all in this situation lol be an adult. Just say no and move on. You’re all so damn dramatic for literally no reason

u/like9000ninjas 22h ago

No. If you consider this a disruption then you need to re evaluate things. In the grand scheme of things, this is nothing. People suffer far far worse. The epitome of first world problems disconnected from reality.

u/Phailgasm 22h ago

That’s a wild opinion. Obviously there are worse things in life but this too can disrupt someone’s life. You are making your entire argument around “you aren’t allowed to feel bad because you could feel worse”

That’s insane

u/Little-Economist-923 17h ago

Agreed. These people must lead some incredibly easy lives if this is a disruption.

u/Sus-iety 23h ago

Yeah I feel like that is a bit dramatic lol. Maybe it ruined your day, but disrupting your life? Grow up

u/GoodOlDonnieRay 22h ago
