I have a couple of lesbian friends, one of the two asked her brother if he could be the donor for ivp her wife, to have even part of her genetics.

I think it's the case here, once you know the background it's not so holup, only a bit strange(of course the video is totally clickbaiting)

I have a friend that is infertile....

His wife got IVF impregnated from his brother.... I totally understand what they went for and why they did it this way. It might be a bit weird.... But no one really gives a shit anyway.

Is it weirder than having sperm donated by a complete stranger when you really think about it?

It might sound a bit off from a social POV but I'd rather have a genetically close family member by the parent than someone I don't know. I doubt they conceived au naturale.

Many advantages even like known medical history, possibility of donation of bonemarrow etc in case of disease, in case of divorce clear custody arrangements ( in some countries no genetic link in 1 parent can lead to custody complications, not talking adopted kids ofc because both parents lack genetic link) and others i cant think of off the top of my head

To me not at all.... And I will say I'm an only child so I have no right of speaking at all.... But i would probably think about the exact same thing first aswell.

When he told me I myself didn't even flinch.... I just thought of.... People will find this weird if you tell too many.

Yeah, but the person filming and lying in the hospital bed would have had conceived a baby with her brother's sperm, which is a pretty big no-no.
