Response; Your Gamete, Myself

Personally, if I were unable to conceive a child, I would choose adoption. There are so many unwanted children that are stuck in orphanages. To me, it seems sort of morally wrong to choose a person to help make a child for you, when there are plenty of healthy children that would give anything for a loving family. It seems a bit selfish, especially when you have the parents picking people only with good looks, IQs, psychological histories, among other factors. Additionally, the procedure can be dangerous and is not guaranteed to work every time. I feel that if a child is conceived through in vitro fertilization, they should definitely be told about it. If not from the beginning, they should at least have the right to understand where they came from when they become a legal adult. Everyone has the right to know the truth about their life, and have the opportunity to meet their biological parent if they have an interest too.
