...but whether you like it or not your father's sperm donation very much contributed to who exactly you are and his part of the family procreated any differently, you would not exist.
This argument always puzzles me. If you were a different person, how would you know the difference? If you never existed in the first place, how would you know the difference?
It's not like a Parellel Universe version of you would be hovering around, telling you how your life would be different if your great-grandmother had been Polish instead of Irish. You wouldn't know. It wouldn't be an issue.
I can't help but think we make things sacred when they are really mundane and not that impressive in the grand scheme of things. Which is totally normal and human, but no less frustrating.
