Note: Betsey Chestney, The Right to Know One’s Genetic Origin: Can, Should, or Must a State That Extends This Right to Adoptees Extend an Analogous Right to Children Conceived Using Donor Gametes?, 80 TEXAS L. REV. 365 (2001).
Abstract: This
Note examines recent statutes in Oregon and Tennessee that give
adoptees the right to discover the identity of their birth
parents and further examines unsuccessful challenges to these
statutes. This Note
then presents the argument that because of similarities between
donor offspring—created from donated gametes—and adoptees,
as a policy matter, donor offspring should also have the right
to discover their donor parents. |
