GAF paranoid as hell. My guess is she likes OP and can guess how that child might turn out, things you can't guarantee from donor sperm (or from real people, but she knows him).
That said, if she's single, she does not need to have a child while working and getting a masters. No way. I am in a PhD program and have a wonderful partner and my two kids are still mega hard. She may be underestimating that. But after, there's nothing wrong with her having a child on her own. Your role however is to decide how you might want to be involved. Do you? If you have any doubts, say no, help her solve it as a good friend, but say no. If you are thinking you'd like to have a child with this woman, then consider it, but not out of guilt. You are not her only option in the world.
