A bill in Oregon could end the anonymity of egg and sperm donors by allowing donor-conceived individuals to discover their biological parents.
A bill in Oregon could end the anonymity of egg and sperm donors by allowing donor-conceived individuals to discover their biological parents later in life. While there are some concerns around privacy, Ursula Reutin of “The Gee and Ursula Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio says we have the right to know who our parents are. Gee Scott, however, is not so sure.
Oregon lawmakers are considering Senate Bill 163. It would allow children conceived through sperm, egg, or embryo donations to access donor identities once they turn 18. The bill requires fertility clinics to collect donor information, which would then be stored in a state registry.
Colorado has passed a similar law, though it has faced pushback. Laws on donor identity vary across the U.S., with some states encouraging, but not requiring disclosure.
Gee believes that a bill like this will “mean less people will donate.” Ursula understands the complexity of the issue, but says it comes down to someone’s practical right to know.
