Given how high risk this whole donor thing is, I’m surprised there is very little regulation around this process.

For one, It’s truly bizzare that they don’t regulate the number of kids from a single donor. I also assumed they would have some rigorous screening of genetic disorders such as this one before freely distributing sperm for insemination.

It was not detected in the genetic screening they did.

It was also 2005.

It should be regulated how many children can be born by a single donor.

Why?

Because it can lead to accidental incest between biological half-siblings.
