Do you think that children of sperm or egg donors have the right to retroactively demand the identities of the anonymous donors and win in court?

I guess this was bound to come up as these children reached an age in which they would care. But for me this is different than adoptive parents and children. The donors donate to help people conceive. They donated under the contractual guarantee that they would remain anonymous.

The children who result from sperm or egg donation should, and mostly do I believe, have access to medical records of the donor.

Perhaps the donor contract should change and allow for donors to allow possible children to contact them. But that should happen from here on out. I don’t believe that children should be able to strip anonymity away. Also both parties should be in agreement to revealing of identities.

If you were the judge would you allow a plaintiff to retroactively acquire the identy of their mother or father?

How do you think this would effect donation? Would it dry up? Would the donors care?
