Summary

Chapter 5 addresses the regulation of donor conception. This chapter examines how parentage should be allocated in situations where this procedure is used. The aim of the chapter is to identify a means of allocating parentage that is most in keeping with the best interests principle. The child’s right to identity and safeguards required to vindicate this right in cases of donor conception are also considered, as is the issue of access to services for gay and lesbian couples.
