Summary
This book examines findings about the lives of adult offspring of sperm donors, one of the most common reproductive technologies and one that has been practiced widely in the United States and around the world for decades. The book discusses how the adult offspring of sperm donation deal with the implications of their conception and how they rate worse than their peers raised by biological parents in relation to depression, delinquency, and substance abuse. My Daddy’s Name Is Donor aims to lead to an international debate on ethics, meaning, and practice of donor conception."--Publisher description.
