 Similarly, there is a set of questions not so much about what donors’ actual motives are, but about what they write on their donation papers, and about how and when information is conveyed to their offspring. One view is that, for the sake of the welfare of the child, it would be better for donors to ‘tell a story’ (even if not wholly accurate) that donor-conceived children will find more palatable than the bare truth that the donor simply needed money. Another is that if donor-conceived children are communicated with appropriately, honestly, and sensitively, and at an early stage then any problems associated with donor motives will be minimal (Nuffield Council on Bioethics 2013).
