Colorado has been a disaster on reproductive ethics, but this was the right call.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street. This is the point.

This month, Colorado became the first state to officially ban anonymous sperm and egg donation.

The law also gives those conceived through anonymous donation the right to seek their biological parents at age 18.

This is a win for reproductive ethics and kids.

As Katie Fowse, then before us puts it, every child has the right to the love of their

biological mom and dad.

That relationship matters throughout development.

On average, kids raised by their married biological parents do better on every economic, social,

and emotional metric.

And many children of our technologies continue to struggle with identity.

Left with anguish of a missing

or ambiguous parent, they wonder, who am I? Where did I come from? Was I wanted? Sperm donation,

especially anonymous sperm donation, this lack of knowledge is built in by design. It's a feature

of sperm donation, not a glitch, treating children as products ordered by adults, sometimes even

with specifications. The child's

well-being is at best secondary. Colorado has long been a disaster on reproductive ethics, but this

was the right call. I hope other states will soon follow suit. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street
