CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING AN UNLICENSED SPERM DONOR
Using an unlicensed donor may be tempting for many reasons, not least the relatively cheap price.
However, there are a number of things to consider:
- Legal parenthood could become very complicated - your donor could be the father of your child which gives him legal rights
- There is a very real risk that you could become infected with a sexually transmitted infection or other disease
- You may not have knowledge of the donor’s personal and family medical history
- Your personal safety could be in danger
- Your child may have a very high number of half-siblings
- A lack of counselling for both you and the donor could mean that things arise that you’d not had the opportunity to explore and discuss
- Your donor may have unpleasant motivations for donating in this way
- Your donor may be more or less involved in your child’s life than you want.
