The mother is signing a contract on behalf of a third party who did not agree to the provisions of the contract, and who is a legal participant in the contract. The non-existence of this party at time of contract signing merely makes it even MORE null and void, since all participants in a contract must agree for it to be binding. Contract law is not your strong suit, is it?
You misunderstand, I meant on a moral level. If some woman came up to me and said "Because your smart (or for whatever quaility) I want to use your DNA to make some children" what would be so wrong with me saying "Uhhhh ok, but I want a situation similiar to that of a Sperm bank; where I donate my chemicals and you go off and live your life." I mean, if she agrees to it, what is the problem?
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

Morally? To be honest, if I helped bring a child into this world, I'm partially responsible for it, so I do feel some obligation to help with its upbringing, which is why I've never contributed sperm to a sperm bank. However, there is a social imperative to let those who don't have a problem with it engage in this process.
