In France, for each donation, donors must consent to the disclosure of their non-identifying data (e.g. age, physical characteristics) and their identity. These data can only be communicated to the persons born from this donation when they reach the age of majority, if they so wish.
In my opinion, anonymous sperm donation is wrong. People have a right to know the identity of their biological father. I doubt that most people who don't know their biological parents are comfortable with the eternal uncertainty.
Yes. Though I do think my dispassion with regard to biological relationship goes both ways (I am less my biological children’s father than their adoptive father is -- and vice vers); I do support non-anonymity. (This is how they do it in Australia, too.) Personally I love the idea of turning 45 and receiving 5+ emails from young people who look like me. Fun! Let’s meet and compare faces!
