Abstract

Any debate over the removal of donor anonymity needs to recognize that the discourse of donating will differ from the discourse of any resultant child. Donor discourse will not contain concepts of father/mother/parent/family whereas the child discourse will. This has implications for any contact with the donor and for counselling practice.
