“This bill recognizes this reality and affirms that while shared DNA does not always make a family, the identity of the donor is important to the health and identity of many donor-conceived persons.”
The days of being able to anonymously donate sperm or eggs in Colorado will soon be over.
“This is groundbreaking,” said Jody Madeira, an Indiana University law professor and expert on fertility law. “We’re really not sure what these bills should look like ideally, but we have one now.” “More than a million people in the United States have been created via sperm and egg donation with little consideration to their future needs or interests, including learning the identity of the person who contributed half of their DNA and having access to accurate medical information,” said Erin Jackson, president and CEO of the organization, in a statement. “With the passage of this bill, the industry can no longer ignore our voices.
The increased push from this community led lawmakers this session to increase protections for donor-conceived families in a way no state had done before.
