Probably wouldn't matter. I would bet they'd call it "against public good"
(or "contra bonos mores" as we call it down here) for a father to be able by
contract to disavow himself from his child. This wasn't like a sperm bank type
thing, but about a one-to-one relationship, however brief, which caused a baby,
which relationship was mutually consensual.
