Washington State moves to grant donor offspring rights
The US state of Washington has taken a step towards the abolition of donor anonymity in IVF clinics.
The US state of Washington has taken a step towards
the abolition of donor anonymity in IVF clinics. Donors now have to present
identifying information and their medical history. Most fertility clinics
already keep this information and make the medical information available to
patients. But now donor-conceived children will be able to access some
information about their biological parent and his medical history, once they
turn 18. However, they still will not be able to contact the donor unless he
agrees. ~ BioNews,
