It is amazing what lengths closed-minded buffoons will go to in order to try to make a point that they don't even understand themselves. Sure, donor conceived children whose parents get divorced are sad -- but I'm not donor conceived, and I was sad when my parents got divorced, too. I also get sad when parents kill their biological kids, and I hate when mean people cut in line (but not as much as the killing stuff). The video is just fundamentalist propaganda.
@TennesseeBioethics While I think at the last part of your response you have valid questions to the legal aspect should such cases arise - in regards to this video - You've turned into something that in most cases it's not about. The motivation behind the egg donor program has to be considered and and the outcomes which are so much more "human" than this video gives credit. This video tends to attack the family's indirectly rather than the legal issue which could arise.
I am a donor conceived adult, and while I'm not happy with the common practice of using anonymous sperm or egg donors, I think this video is borderline ridiculous. The implication is that custody disputes over DC babies happen all the time, but it is much, MUCH more common for babies/children who are conceived "naturally" to wind up the victims of their parents' broken relationships. This video diminishes your credibility and is a detriment to your cause, which otherwise has some merit.
This video is terrible. The problems of divorce and whether a child is wanted have little or no to do with donor conception. The case in this video is incredibly rare. My daughter is donor conceived, and I can tell you for SURE she is totally loved by both parents, as well as both families. Spreading this kind of slanted, exxageratied message does a great disservice to all of the donor families in this world.
This video is a response to a particular case that raises questions applicable to
other donor-conceived children. These are questions we all need to consider. Each of us, whatever our birth circumstances, asks important questions like, "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" For donor-conceived persons,
these can be particularly poignant. The Tennessee Center for Bioethics &
Culture developed this video to help get these issues before the public. Thank
There's nothing wrong with asking "who am I". That's not what you're saying in your video. You're saying "I am donor conceived, my parents don't love me", which is VERY different, and 99.99% of the time not true. the problem in your video applies to naturally cocieved children as well.
I think it is very rare that neither parent would want the child. That is ridiculous. The video presentation is great but the message is wrong. People do get divorced and that is not good for any child. The message portrayed here is misleading. I have a donor concieved child and she is loved by so many. She has 12 siblings. All of them very wanted. Visit the Donor sibling registry and see for yourself.

None of have any right to decide if we are born, regardless of the circumstances in which we are born.

How can something that is not human have human rights?

Thank you. Certainly this is a hard case, but it serves as a place to begin.
Here are some of the questions we as a society need to be asking ourselves.
Do children have a right to know their heritage, genetic predispositions, parents and siblings?
Do they have a right to know that they are donor-conceived?
When we "produce children" through increasingly technological means, are we receiving them as gifts, or are they becoming/have they become projects?
Are embryos/children property?
