the Socio-Technical Contract
The Parliamentary law reform committee in the Australian state of Victoria has recommended that the government move forward in creating a law that would provide all donor conceived children with the opportunity to seek out their biological donor-parent, even those conceived before 1988, who, up to this point, have no legal right to access any information about their donor. What are the implications of this bold move? If such sweeping legislation comes into effect, Victoria, to my knowledge, will be the first governmental entity to retroactively legislate for the abolishing of anonymous donation, even when donors donated under the auspices of anonymity.
