What does it mean to have a child born through donor conception?
Does it mean different things for heterosexual parents and lesbian
parents? What is it like for the 'non-genetic' parent? How do
grandparents feel about having a grandchild who is conceived with
the help of an egg, sperm or embryo donor? Since 1991 more than
35,000 children have been born in the UK as a result of donor
conception. This means that more and more families are facing the
issue of incorporating 'relative strangers' into their families.
In this path breaking book, the authors explore the lived reality
of donor conception in families by using in-depth interviews with
parents and grandparents of donor conceived children. With
reproductive medical technologies becoming more accessible,
assisted donor conception is raising new and important questions
about family life. This book will provide compelling reading for
all those interested in the family, kinship, gender and sexuality,
new reproductive technologies, and genetics.
