1. Child knowing for medical reasons 2. making sure as a female sure you don't hook up with your biological dad. (still possible to hook up with your biological half-brother/sister though) | ||

its arguably a human rights infringement to not protect the biological father's identity. its not like most people just donate once and thats it, what if you donate like 10 times and end up having to have awkward, pointless meetings at a café on 10 seperate occasions I also don't see why people give a shit about their lineage. Unless you are a royal or something, you shouldn't care at all... | ||

I dunno about the US, but in the UK there is a shortage of donors (since it is illegal to receive a gratuity apart from travel expenses... so the hassle isn't worth it). its arguably a human rights infringement to not protect the biological father's identity. its not like most people just donate once and thats it, what if you donate like 10 times and end up having to have awkward, pointless meetings at a café on 10 seperate occasions I also don't see why people give a shit about their lineage. Unless you are a royal or something, you shouldn't care at all... Possibly because incest is illegal and results in a higher rate of birth defects than a normal child. It's fine if the children of IVF never have any kids of their own, but it seems like a pain to me to have to get a DNA test every time you want to get into a relationship just because you might be committing incest without even knowing it. There have been court cases of couples separated because they were found to be related but didn't know it because of IVF/adoption and they were never told about it. I'm sure someone is going to make a comment about how love transcends all, but realistically there are things that are illegal and it's just better not to ruin someone's life because of it. | ||

I think that the more important question to ask would be "what if the donor was Stroggoz?" | ||

When I learnt about it, I felt like I was just some byproduct of science. And I still do. We don't even understand a tenth of what makes us "choose" a partner, but it is heavily chemical, both parents respond to eachother in ways science can't even fathom. Yet we think we know better than mother nature and determine who can or cannot sell their seed by some physical / mental tests that are completely irrelevant. Some people already tried to play with that, and it was the Nazis doing eugenics, but guess what ? It does not work ! Recessive genes and such play a huge role, and if one can never predict the outcome, at least nature has much better ways than us to deal with all the troubles that might occur. By bypassing the whole natural process of mating, IVF creates abnormalities like me. Some of us may be fine with it, surrounded in a right environement, but most of people like me I know share the same opinion as mine. The donor's identity should be available for health reasons as aforementionned, and imo the whole IVF service should not be allowed. If unfertile couples want a child, theres adoption. | ||
