Silly question but...........?

Bravo for finding a nice end to frog suffering ! Hum... last thing I want is to create an issue between you, Dad, and forum. Please let him know nicely, that the way mother nature works, prevents bad genes being passed to future generations. Females know how to pick healthy "Alpha" males. The chances that malformed frog fertilized the spawn are zero!

Having said that; those malformations might be caused by man made chemicals in your area. If so; then you might see more malformed frogs around. That is not a reason to destroy the spawn in my humble opinion. Good luck !

Was that frogs deformity not the result of an injury? I would be surprised if a frog managed to live for any length of time with that level of malformation if that's the way it developed, the lack of sight and the movement problems would make it easy prey.

There's always the possibility that the frog was a female and did manage to lay eggs. Male frogs aren't generally very picky when it comes to selecting a breeding partner. Still, I wouldn't cull the spawn. If they turn up deformed nature will generally take care of business. Most of the time anyway.
