Core values
Donorborns Vilkar is an association that works to create the best conditions for donor-conceived people in Danmark. We work based on the value that when the child becomes an adult, he or she should have free choice, from which the individual can then assess their own situation.
The goals of Donorbørns Vilkår are:
- Advocating for chosing an open and known donor (friend of the family). Anonymous sperm and egg donation must be removed by law in all countries.
- All donor children should be informed early in life that they are a donor child. Adult donor children who do not have this knowledge must be informed by their parents.
- All donor children of anonymous donors have to receive a free access to a DNA registry if they wish to gain more knowledge about their biological origins.
- Establishment of a national state-run registry of sperm and egg donors, which also provides the opportunity to find and contact donor half-siblings.
- All donor children must receive free help in contacting the donor, if this is the child’s wish.
- All sperm and egg donors must receive counseling and advice before donating, focusing on: That they know the seriousness of what they are doing; That they understand that they are a donor and not a parent; That they gain knowledge about how they will receive an adult donor child later in life.
