Which of the following ethical dilemmas are raised by the use of donor insemination?



a. Confidentiality, screening, and disclosure
b. Informed consent and child support payments
c. Financial gain for the donor and anonymity
d. The possibility of infectious disease and custody rights


Answer: a. Donor insemination is currently confidential, but this is problematic if the child should become sick when he or she is older. Screening the donor may have a profound impact on his ability to obtain insurance or employment, if he discovers that he carries a disease. Disclosure is another issue of concern; should a child have the right to know who his or her father is?
