Changing attitudes towards third-party reproductive techniques.
A growing number of children around the world are conceived through third-party reproductive techniques. The increased demand for these programs has resulted in an ongoing trend towards greater openness and less anonymity in gamete donation. This has led to changes in public policy regarding the identity of donors, to a greater concern for the well-being of donors, and to calls for disclosure to offspring about their donor gamete conception.
