Irrevocable gift

Next time remember to say this before delivery: this is not a gift--You are hereby only given a license to temporarily safe keep and will expect to return the goods upon demand.

"An Illinois appellate court has ruled that sperm is an irrevocable gift when deposited into the recipient's, well, umm, mouth, and a theft claim will not lay even though the recipient later used the sperm to impregnate herself and then sued the donor of the sperm for child support.

Money quote, so to speak:

'She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift -- an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee,' the decision said. 'There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request.'

The court did allow the emotional distress claim to proceed."
