I wouldn't do it. The impact it would have on both your lives and your relationship would be tremendous. So she wants you to be the father, and will let the kid call you dad, but she doesn't want you to play a part in this kid's life? Sounds contradictory.
Plus, when the kid grows up it will be really confused at why her "dad" is hardly around/her "mums" don't have him round more often, etc.
My reason would be that I don't want my line continuing in any way I can't control. If I have a child, it will be entirely that of me and my partner and I will raise it.
In the end, it's your decision. Moral problems holding you back? Don't do it.
Looking for a quick fuck? Go for it!
You will most likely end up paying childsupport without having any real contact with the kid.
Whatever she says now is worth zip,you will be the biological father and can be squeezed for cash if she gets low on it.Or just changes her mind.
Don't do it (thats my opinion)... Think about when the kid grows up, it'll be like, so you're my dad, but my mum's a lesbian (that is gonna be so screwed)!!
This is just my opinion of these things, but to have a kid, you need to be in a relationship with someone, you don't go shagging you're best friend (who happens to be a lesbian) - It's just not right!
Kids aren't just a "oh, I know, let's have one! It'll be fun!" kinda thing. They're parasites; they'll drain you financially, emotionally and physically, and will give next to nothing in return save for grief. A kid'll have a serious effect on your relationship with your friend -- you may fall out, you may turn into the most bizarre 'divorced parents' on the face of the planet. And I have a suspicion that her significant other will be a cause of trouble later on in your wacky relationship.
More importantly is the effect this could have on the kid. I'm not against homosexual parents, per-say, but this isn't quite the same, is it? The kid is going to be brought up by three parents, and one of which -- you -- will largely be left out in the cold by the two parents who love each other. What the hell is the kid going to think? What sort of effect is this going to have on it? And how do you think it'll react later on in life when you tell it you impregnated its mother as a 'favour'? You'll be a father by proxy more than anything else.
I would avoid this idea like the plague. Accidentally crush your bits between two bricks if you aren't prepared to say no to your friend. Just don't do this. It'll be bad for you, it'll be bad for her, and it'll be bad for the kid.
Besides all of this, the fact that you have doubts ("but not this early in life") is enough to avoid the idea. You don't have kids with anybody deliberately if you're not 100% sure about it.
Wait until you are with someone you care about, and you're both certain about doing it. Why the hell you would want to is beyond me, but there you go.

Hmm, I'd do it. You are helping out your friend. But I don't think you should take the advice of anyone on this board. Think about it yourself and talk it out with both of the moms to be. Think about the best and worst case scenarios.
If you consider saying yes, then think about trying to explain to any future girlfriend why your friend has a child that looks like you and calls you daddy.

If she's so commited to her "life partner" shouldn't she be willing to explore the options of adopting a child so that they can make that decision themselves? why drag you into it at all? that's almost not a friend to ask you to do her for her....@_@;
Like a sigh piercing the moon,
It shines white, and scatters red.
