Synopsis
This book examines donor conception and the search for information by donor-conceived people. It details differing regulatory approaches across the globe, including those that provide for 'open-identity' or anonymous donation, or that take a 'dual-track' approach. In doing so, it identifies models regarding the recording and release of information about donors that may assist in the further development of the law, policy and associated practices. Arguments for and against donor anonymity are considered, and specifically critiqued. The study highlights contrasting reasoning and emphasis upon various interests and factors that may underpin secrecy, anonymity or openness. The book will be of value to academics, students and legal practitioners involved with this area. It is also relevant to policy makers, health practitioners and anyone with an interest in the subject.

Newspapers & Magazines
Drawing on detailed legal evidence, highly readable personal case studies and a range of research, Sonia Allan has produced a compelling account of the need for donor conception to shed its stigma and secrecy by opening up its records to the thousands of donor offspring already born and yet to be born. Dr Marilyn Crawshaw, Honorary Fellow (formerly Senior Lecturer), University of York, UK

Sonia Allan has written an important book that sensitively - and globally - approaches the secrecy surrounding donor conception. Based on a thorough discussion of the social, legal, ethical, and moral issues around donor anonymity, Donor Conception persuasively argues for the need to to give donor-conceived children the right to access information about their biological origins. Professor Naomi Cahn, Harold H. Greene Chair, GWU Law School
