I would be surprised if any of my DC offspring will be told of their real genetic heritage, I guess I'll find out within the next 20 years or so.<br /><br />I know that the HFEA are aware that openness is a issue and it's been said that the recently passed legislation didn't go far enough to guarantee that DC children would know the truth about their genetic background. Though I can see that this could dissuade potential parents to go the HFEA Registed Donor route and use a 'private' introduction company with the health risks and lack of any regulation this would bring.<br /><br />Do you think the law should be changed? If so, are there any other aspects of the law that you believe would need to be addressed?<br /><br />Thanks for your posting on your blog and I hope you will find the information that you are seeking.Seed Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501127414788996816noreply@blogger.com
