Serious question: would you agree to (technically) having a kid with your wife's sister?

My first cousin (essentially my brother) and his wife are having fertility issues. The doctor is recommending IVF (taking his sperm and fertilizing an egg before putting it back in his wife's body) and they have two options.

- use a stranger's egg
- use her sister's egg (same DNA, so it's as close as she can get to her own biological chid)

What would you do in this situation? I told him to go for the stranger because this will eventually surface in our family and his kid will one day learn that his/her aunt is also his/her biological mother. He agrees but wifey wants to use the sister anyway. How would you respond?

I would essentially tell him the same thing you did. Much less drama that way. Sounds like a lose/lose for him since wifey doesn't appear to be on his program. I would bet money that the sister will catch feelings at some point.

Apparently his little soldiers don't have the stamina to make it to the war zone. I suggest you hooking me up with her and...... well you know how I do...... RAW.

WAIT....what she look like?
 
Free pass with her sister :dance:

Make sure you emphasize in doing it the old fashion way because it is cheaper and a tried and tested method :yes:

I get it, but wouldn't the kid have the same issue. Her birth mother isn't her biological mother regardless of it being another family member or not? The only difference I'm seeing is the kid maybe able to easily reach out to your wife. Also, your wife may have an attachment to the kid given it biologically is her child.

Assuming none of you told other family members and friends, potentially the kid never has to learn the truth. Even if the kid looked more like your wife, it wouldn't be that unusual assuming they are full blooded sisters.

In general, if I could help my brother or another family member in this way I'd like to think I would. My issue would be slightly different than the kid finding out the truth though. I couldn't know I had a kid and play a passive role in their lives. Technically I guess you could be around but not really involved.

You may not know but are they opposed to adaption?
 
For clarification - There’s no sex. He ejaculates in a cup. She gets her sister’s egg extracted.

They marry them (sperm/egg) up and put them in the other sister’s uterus (my cousin’s wife).Kid is born in 9 months.

All in all, she borrows an egg from her younger (22) sister.

I would go with the younger sister option. I am not sure if the 2 sisters resemble each other, but if they do that helps how the child might look appearance wise.
I might be a bit concerned with a stranger's medical history that genetically could be passed on to the child (yeah, the same situation applies to the younger sister, but you're more familiar with her).
 
I would do it in a heartbeat for my sibling. I don’t see an issue with it. My sibling’s kids are just like my own. I love them just like I do my own.
