Recently we have examined cases in which the lines between sperm donor and father became blurred, and financial responsibility was sought from donors.
Here, the Morning show on Fox TV has invited a number of experts in the area to debate the issue regarding one such case.
In the case in question a sperm donor for a lesbian couple agreed to act as a 'positive role model' but without financial responsibility for the two children he conceived for his lesbian friend.
The friend, the children's birth mother, has now claimed that for the last 14 years he has acted as a father rather than a donor, including having the children stay at his house every weekend.
She is seeking backdated child support payments, while the donor in question is defending himself in a lengthy and complex court battle.
