- Title
THE NEW "ART" OF FAMILY: CONNECTING ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES & IDENTITY RIGHTS.
- Authors
Cahn, Naomi
- Abstract
The technology of assisted reproduction, along with the reality of modern families, has fostered law reforms that address how to establish parentage, the number of potential parents, and the rights of those involved in creating a child through assisted reproduction. Yet, in the United States, it has not yet fostered law reform on the rights of a child in these new families; substantively, with respect to the anonymity of donors and siblings' rights, there has been comparatively minimal legal movement until recently. Yet a number of developments call into question the ethics of anonymity--indeed, the very ability to "promise" anonymity itself may border on fraudulent. This Article focuses on legal and pragmatic issues concerning the status of the rights and interests of donor offspring and of children born through surrogacy. It argues that assurances of anonymity to donors are questionable, points out the differences between donors and surrogates on this issue, and advocates for the rights of donor-conceived offspring to learn the identity of their donor.
