Did she steal his sperm to make a baby? Two doctors have an affair and the married woman gets pregnant. Mr. Doctor says they didn’t have intercourse and the woman “stole” his sperm and impregnated herself. Without ruling on how the woman got pregnant, the court says: > [@](#): > > “She asserts that when plaintiff ‘delivered’ his sperm, it was a gift,” the decision said. “There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request.” ---

Not to tread dirt into the threads but how many times do we have to hear this story? > **[Unauthorized use of sperm](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=304112)** > > This AP story found on the NY Times web site was pretty interesting.

It’s worthy of a WTF? I think we need to hear it a total of 7 times. Also, I think it is very good for each of the 7 threads to be bumped at least twice so that all can see the complaints about it twice. So, all together, we need to see this information 21 times. Thank You.
