Egg And Sperm Donor Anonymity Vs. Offspring Right To Know: The Indian Legal Position




Vanshika Bansal, Gujarat National Law University.


ABSTRACT


The conflict between donor anonymity in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and the right of the children to know about their biological heritage is an important ethical and legal dilemma in modern family law. The Indian legal system regarding donor anonymity and specifically the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, is the subject matter of this paper. It evaluates the balance achieved between ensuring donor confidentiality and upholding the rights of the children. The analysis finds huge loopholes in India's approach vis-a-vis global trends towards more openness in donor conception.
