Quite right. I'm disturbed at how medical ethics in this area are so often weighted towards the 'rights' of the parents with so little regard for the responsibilities that go with it. Children are not accessories, or posessions to be desired. They are living, feeling people. Who are we to say whether it is right for them to want to know who their biological father is? Is it fair to deny them that knowledge just because it might make the parents feel uncomfortable? That seems to me to be extremely selfish on the part of the parents.
The overwhelming majority of children know who their natural father is. Why should those born thanks to medical intervention not enjoy that same 'right'? I don't think the lifestyle choices or the medical conditions of their parents are any reason to remove that 'right'.
