I don't think anyone is blaming the donors. They're just doing their thing. The problem is that you need a bit of genetic variety or else you end up like Iceland where you have to download an app to check if you're dating a relative.

There is a picture online of the “cousin explainer” chart in cross-stitch. Long ago a scientific article said it’s okay to marry 3rd cousins, so somebody should keep an eye out for that sort of thing.

No, some of us (donor conceived people) blame these donors. Serial donors (especially private ones) know exactly what they are doing. They've spoken to our communities. They know what we dislike, feel trauma over and how we feel about strict sibling limits. They absolutely don't care. These particular donors are narcissistic and this is a borderline fetish for them. Most will only donate by 'natural insemination'.

It depends on how "informal" your donations are.

The clinics aren't connected state to state, so you could donate in each state and conceive the maximum amount of donor conceived children in those states (anywhere between 35 and 100). After that, you could donate privately as much as you wanted.
