Fair points Xaccers, and in fact the way your aunt was given the choice about contact is, I suspect, how the situation will be handled for all those already born under the system whereby donors were given anonimity. Effectively this will enable donors to be given the retrospective chance to change their minds about remaining anonymous.

This was the compromise solution arrived at in "closed" adoption cases and could well work to at least provide some degree of hope for those already being born as the result of sperm and or egg donation under the current legislation.
