I think that for medical reasons it should be allowed.Same goes for egg donation children.
As for the needing to know where you come from well I find this part hard to understand.Surely the fact that you already have two loving parents should be enough for a child.It must be very wounding for a father to find that a child would rather know their 'real' father.  |
Incog,
I don't actually think that this is actually an issue - from my past experiences.
Having never *donated* sperm I don't actually know the process, but we are familiar with other things in the system, and I would have thought that the same screening process would be in place.
If we want children then we will would need help, and although we cannot find out who helped us, we can find out about 'their' medical history.
