ABSTRACT
REVOLUTION KATHERINE O’DONOVANIn discussion of the new technology of conception little attentionhas been given to the perspectives of the children thereby produced.
There is, as yet, no language readily available for explaining to a child that egg, sperm, or embryo donation form part of its inheritance. And how is a child to respond? Available however, is the experience of adopted children, in whose case genetic and social parentage have been separated. It is this parental separation of genitor and child raiser that adoptees and the children of donation have in common.
