Can drunk sperm harm an unborn baby?

Cuz (ahem) my friend might want to know just in case.

1. I predict a very short life span

for this thread.

2. It depends on whether they're from Krypton or not..

3. No, but they might puke all over the carpet...

even if someone on the other end has waxed thoroughly.

4. Drunk sperm can make a baby, so no. Oh, tmi, also. :) nt

5. No, but the delivery vehicle may have a flat.

6. Yes--and smoking can mutate sperm.

All this crap about "the woman" having to "live clean" well ahead of conception is only half the tale. If a sperm donor/father drinks, smokes and/or does drugs, it can affect the fetus negatively and is now an established factor when determining the source of birth defects.

The research on this is fairly new, but it's also pretty conclusive. The current thinking is that if a couple wants to conceive, both father and mother have to "live clean" for at least three months before conception to ensure a healthy fetus.

Most recently, they've found a connection between drunk daddies and a condition called IUGR, intrauterine growth restriction, where the placenta poops out before the fetus has matured--it can result in prematurity, or worse.

10. That seems really hard to believe.

I'm not disputing it, but do you have any links on this?

8. Why is the baby hanging out with drunk sperm?

9. Only if it crashes into the egg head-on!

11. In the US, sperm is far too young to consume booze.

I'd call the cops.

12. A stoned sperm would try to feed the baby some canned frosting,

probably the chocolate fudge kind.

14. The sperm was intoxicated, or the baby drank the sperm?

Or the intoxicated sperm helped make the baby?

15. Stupid semantics - what kind of "drunk sperm"?

Unborn babies shouldn't be drinking sperm - that's child molestation or something. Probably unborn babies shouldn't be drinking anything at all.

The mother drinking sperm has just about zero affect on the baby unless she tries to set bukkake world records, and even then isn't likely to do much - it's probably GRAS, though I don't think anyone has studied the effects of consumption of extremely large quantities.

Drunk sperm, like sober sperm, are unlikely to be able to harm a baby, unborn or otherwise, without the assistance of a larger creature. In addition, it's not exactly easy to get sperm drunk. They just don't have enough of a brain for the cortex to malfunction in the appropriate manner. On top of that, it's hard to imagine someone so macho that his sperm goes in, beats up and aborts the existing fetus, then gets you pregnant again.

If the sperm carries an STD, of course, all bets are off. Different STDs affect fetuses differently, depending on a lot of quasi-random stuff. And yes, you can get STDs from sucking, especially if you have a cavity, cut, abrasion, or sore in your mouth, or a sore throat.
