Artificial Donor Insemination

Paper Summary:

This paper aims to provide background information about a particular assisted reproductive technology, which is donor insemination. It discusses the uses, techniques, screening tools and confidentiality practices. It also analyzes the long-term effects of donor insemination, particularly the psychological, physiological, emotional and social effects on people born out of donor insemination procedures. Its stance is that couples/parents who subsisted to donor insemination procedures should tell their children about their biological origins (i.e., real parent) in order to avoid the negative effects that may result in the child's psychological, physiological, emotional and/or social being.

From the Paper:

"In the period of human civilization wherein most of the medical ills and problems that people usually encounter can be cured, the advent of assisted reproductive technology (ART) as a result of genetics and technological advancement led to the formulation of procedures that aim to solve problems of genetic disorders and infertility. Examples of these assisted reproductive technologies are In Vitro Fertilization, Gamete/Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer, Blastocyst transfer, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, Assisted Hatching of Embryos, and Donor gametes. The last enumerated reproductive technology, donor gametes, is one of the most prevalent techniques used in assisted reproductive technologies."
