This issue drives me nuts. I’ve been writing about it forever. My pals and I argued that there is no excuse for anyone anywhere to be allowed to parent a child through gamete donation without having agreed in advance to reveal to the resulting child that he or she has a different biological parent. New evidence now suggests that 1 in 25 fathers, that’s right, one in twenty-five, are in fact parenting someone whom they did not biologically father – but don’t know it. What kind of rights do all those involved in reproduction have? I surrender. I don’t know. It’s anarchy. Hide the sperm.
