What about finding a donor who has good genes in terms of character, demeanor and non-aggressiveness? I remember hearing about a study done on foxes where "aggressive" foxes were separated from "non-aggressive" foxes, creating isolated gene pools. And the aggressive foxes had offspring that was also aggressive, while the non-aggressive foxes had offspring that was also non-aggressive. They even said that some of the non-aggressive foxes had offspring that started developing "floppy ears" like many non-aggressive dogs.
Can we choose a donor based on aggressiveness?

Nobody other than the couple,or single mother by choice herself, have to know about the sperm donor.
