Daniel Groll, "Conceiving People: Genetic Knowledge and the Ethics of Sperm and Egg Donation" (Oxford UP, 2021)
In the United States, tens of thousands of children are conceived every year with donated gametes. When people decide to create a child with donated gametes, they\u2019ll typically have to make a moral decision about whether the\xa0identity\xa0of the donor will be available to the resulting person. This quickly raises additional moral and even existential questions about the value of\xa0knowing\xa0about the circumstances of our own conception.\nIn\xa0Conceiving People: Genetic Knowledge and the Ethics of Sperm and Egg Donation\xa0(Oxford UP, 2021)\xa0Daniel Groll\xa0argues that because donor-conceived persons are likely to develop a significant and worthwhile interest in knowing the identity of their genetic progenitor, their intended parents have an obligation to use a non-anonymous donor.\nRobert Talisse\xa0is the W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
