Sperm Donors May Lose Anonymity
Privacy in our society is a fleeting thing. What about privacy of sperm donors? Due to children’s right and health issues, the country’s sperm banks are considering a registry for sperm donors. This registry would allow offspring of the sperm donor to know of inherited health risks. Is it right to take away the privacy of sperm donors in order to allow children to know their health risks? Is it right for sperm donors to remain anonymous?
Another risk with the registry is the sperm donors it might drive away. With more paperwork and with a greater chance of people learning their identities, the process of donating sperm becomes more of a nuisance. With the chance of turning away sperm donors, is it worth it to have the registry? Are the sperm donors who do not want to go through the process, not worth the risk?
