 Advocates of children’s rights to access identifying information about their donors generally appeal to harms that might arise in the absence of such information, and/or a purported fundamental right to information about one’s genetic origins (Ravitsky 2010, 2012; Velleman 2005, 2008; McGee, Brakeman, and Gurmankin 2001; Blyth and Farrand 2004). Possible harms considered include psychological distress, damaged familial relationships, reduced self-knowledge, and incomplete or incorrect medical records. Those who favour permitting anonymous donation argue that it is a mistake to place a great deal of importance on genetic origins, and question both the severity of the harms caused by anonymous donation and whether the existence of such harms constitutes a decisive argument against donor-anonymity (Melo-Martín 2014; Haslanger 2009).
