Each year, tens of thousands of children are conceived with donated gametes (sperm or eggs). Some know the identity of their donors. Others never will. Questions about what donor-conceived should know about their genetic progenitors are significant for literally millions of people, including donor-conceived people, their parents and donors. But the practice of gamete donation also provides a vivid occasion for thinking about questions that matter to everyone. In 'Conceiving People', author Daniel Groll argues that people who plan to create a child with donated gametes should choose a donor whose identity will be made available to the resulting child.
