Trent Arsenault looks at his supply of specimen cups at his home in Fremont, Calif., Dec. 19, 2011.

AP reports:

A man from the San Francisco Bay area has fathered 14 children in the last five years through free sperm donations to women he meets through his website — and is now in trouble with the federal government.

Arsenault says he donates sperm out of a sense of service to help people who want to have children but can't afford conventional sperm banks. The 36-year-old minister's son has four more children on the way.

"I always had known through people praying at church that there's fertility issues," Arsenault told The Associated Press on Monday. "I thought it would just be a neat way of service to help the community."

    If the women are ok with it and do their research, it's their responsibility and I say good for them. If it's what they want to do and what he wants to do, it's none of our business.
