Donor Conceived Person
A donor-conceived person is someone who was created through fertility treatments using sperm or egg donated by a third party. They are biologically related to the donor but typically do not share a familial relationship with the recipient parents. Many donor-conceived individuals seek to learn about their genetic origins, including information about the donor, for reasons related to identity, health, or personal understanding. Legal and ethical considerations vary by jurisdiction, but the focus is often balancing privacy with the interest of the donor-conceived person in knowing their biological roots.
