DLHS Hour 1 | Donor born children may be able to get parent information before eighteen

From the UK, new proposals could allow donor-conceived children to access identifying information about their biological parents before turning eighteen, giving them earlier access to medical history or genetic heritage—though birth parents must agree to release it. Current UK law already requires post-2005 donors to register in an ID-release system once children reach adulthood but growing pressure from donor-sibling networks and families who use direct-to-consumer DNA tests are pushing for earlier transparency. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
