As much as I like this article it's a little skewed in a lot of ways.
For one you can't be held legally for child support if you hand your sperm to a physician who performs in-vitro fertilization. I know this because I remember reading a story about a woman who attempted child support on a man because he handed it directly to the couple rather than through a physician because it was cheaper. You can also choose to be completely anonymous legally (which means despite them being able to do DNA testing on you to determine if you are the father, in the eyes of the law you're a complete stranger), be on file or be involved in the child's life. The latter being a popular choice for gay males who want to be involved in the child's life if it goes to a Lesbian couple.
Adding to that this sort of thing varies in terms of country. Like Sweden is extremely popular for sperm donations, as are other countries like Canada.
As well while it is a buyers market and Lesbians demand tall white blonde kids from what I remember reading not all buyers want those sorts of children. If the male is sterile they'll pick a doner that resembles the father in some regard so it doesn't look, you know weird.
