Colorado would become the first state to ban anonymous sperm or egg donation if Gov. Jared Polis signs the law. The late-night Senate Bill 224 would also:
Require clinics to keep updated contact and medical data of all reproductive tissue donors — or at least make a positive faith effort to do so every three years. If signed, children born in 2025 could learn their donor's identity when they turn 18 in 2043.
It is not retroactive. The Colorado law would also cover out-of-state banks that give gametes to Colorado recipients. Gametes are eggs and sperm.
They claim the popularity of commercial DNA technology shows the need for such a law. People discovered by chance that a parent was not their biological parent or that a stranger was when they did DNA tests from Ancestry or 23andMe. Others linked donor-conceived people to an unusually large number of half-siblings.
Nevertheless, Most people in Pakistan have heard of IVF treatments but rarely do they hear about acquiring donated sperm or eggs or hiring a surrogate to bear their baby.
An interviewee (The interviewee requested Medical News Group of Publications not to disclose his identity) informed our team that Islamic law requires that families be formed purely by biological relationships. For the youngster to be deprived of information about his heritage may end in unwitting half-sibling marriage, which is detrimental for a society. This partnership is halal (permitted), whereas any other coupling of gametes, whether via adultery or in the lab, is haraam (forbidden). Likewise, Donor sperm pregnancies are thus completely forbidden in all Islamic schools.
