And, while the case being reviewed by the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court only focuses on the financial responsibility of men
who donate their sperm, we would think, in this day and age of
striving for equal rights under the law, that women who donate their
eggs would be equally responsible to any children born from those
eggs. - Gordon Clay
Jason Patric Inspires Controversial Sperm-Donor Rights
Legislation in California
Patric, 47, star of The Lost Boys, Sleepers and My Sister's Keeper, has become intimately intertwined with a California state bill that would give sperm donors the ability to sue for parentage rights.
As part of a fertility treatment, Patric donated sperm in 2009 to a former girlfriend, massage therapist Danielle Schreiber, that resulted in her pregnancy, according to ABC News. He then decided he wanted to help raise the child, Gus, now 3, but was thwarted in his attempts to gain partial custody.
Patric told the Los Angeles Times that he and and Schreiber agreed
to have a child together and that he has had a "loving relationship"
with his son.
