Source on this?


And, no, if you're 18+ and unmarried no one has to sign off.

The implications that women need their husband's permission to do something like this are incredibly troubling to me. I've never heard of men needing their wives' permission to donate sperm. Granted, egg donation is much more intense and requires a lot more work on the part of the donor but still.

Yep. Like I said, my husband won't have a problem signing. His only contribution to the process is two weeks of abstinence and, like I said in the joint accounts thread, we are an "our money" household so he gets part of the benefit. Well, in actually it will probably be the NY Film Academy that gets the benefit.
