Underlying catches and threats of indiscriminate abolition of donor anonymity

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Gamete donation is currently routinely used worldwide, and the number of treatments performed is constantly increasing. Although initially the most common policies aimed at ensuring donor anonymity, in recent years, its abolition has been strongly supported by a systematic and powerful lobbying action coordinated by a subgroup of donor-conceived persons opposing it. This led to legislative changes in several countries. However, throughout this process, some of the potential implications of the abolition of donor anonymity, not only for the stakeholders directly involved in the treatment but also for the community, appear to have been underestimated.
