Donor Conception and the Search for Information

From Secrecy and Anonymity to Openness

Beschreibung

This book examines donor-conception and the search for information by donor-conceived people. It details differing regulatory approaches across the globe, including those that provide for 'open-identity' or anonymous donation, or that take a 'dual-track' approach. In doing so, it identifies models regarding the recording and release of information about donors that may assist in the further development of the law, policy, and associated practices.
