A sperm bank is sued under product liability law. Say what?
Yes, it’s true. And it’s happening somewhere you can sue (and
possibly win) for just about everything.
Basically a 13 year old girl is suing a sperm bank for the fact
that they provided the sperm which was used to give birth to her.
She was born with a genetic disorder the causes mental
impairment.
Enjoy the whole absurdity of the situation:

So, the sperm bank provided “unsafe sperm” that caused injuries. It
should be treated the same as a car company providing a faulty
engine on a car. Hahahaha. Was all the sperm provided faulty or
just part of it? Was it the sperm’s fault?
Aside the sad fact that the girl is mentally impaired, I cannot get
over the WTF that this story instantly generated. I mean giving
live is a complex process and many things can go wrong along the
way. You should understand that when you’re having a child you
cannot treat him like a product.
So inspired by this story I have something that will make us all
happy and incredibly rich. Here goes:
Sad that you don’t look like an athlete? That you’re as dumb as a
brick? That you’re bald? That you’re fat? Sue your parents. You
don’t have to necessarily be in an extreme case like this girl is
in. You should be enjoying of the good things in life but you
cannot do that because of your parents! Sue them, sue them… :)
To add to the situation also check out the commentaries. They are
priceless. As in Mastercard commercial priceless. To actually think
that you can be the same person and have a different DNA.
Priceless. To think that each individual sperm cell can be tested.
Priceless. To not understand basic things about how stuff works
(biologically speaking) and make a foul out of youself. You guessed
it: Priceless.
