Description

These days, the importance of the right of donor insemination (DI) offspring to know their genetic origin is gradually achieving a general consensus around the world and the number of jurisdictions abolishing donor anonymity is increasing. This paper takes up the case of Victoria, Australia, which has a unique system that gives donors the right to access resultant offspring as well as giving donor offspring the right to know their donor; it provides an analysis of the consequences and the problems that have occurred as a result of legislation abolishing donor anonymity and of how they have been tackled. By focusing mainly on official publications and newspaper articles on DI in Victoria, it concludes that the legislation which abolished donor anonymity has not necessarily resulted in unproblematic recognition of the donor offspring's right to know their origin, that active support from the medical side and the government is required, and that DI families need to be freed from the ideology connecting reproduction with sexual love, attachment to biological ties, and taboos concerning male infertility.
