Riassunto

The Gift of a Child is an easy-to-read book that gives clear and non-technical information about childlessness caused by male infertility and how this childlessness can be resolved through the use of donor insemination (DI). The book is written in a question-and-answer form and covers the issues raised by those seeking or undergoing DI treatment. It draws on the experience of couples whose own children were conceived by donor insemination and makes the knowledge gained by their experiences available to other childless couples.

 

The questions answered include: What is DI? How common is DI treatment? How successful is DI? How much does DI cost? What happens at the time of treatment? Who is responsible if the baby is handicapped at birth? Does keeping DI hidden cause any problems? How do family and friends react when told about DI? What rights does the child have concerning knowledge of DI? Will the same donor be used for a second baby? Does the donor have any legal rights concerning the child? How many times is a donor used? What records are kept of treatment?

Su questo libro

Product Description

It is estimated that around 20,000 couples each year - in the UK alone - are unable to have children because of male infertility. This book contains clear, non-technical information about childlessness caused by male infertility, and about how this childlessness can be resolved by the use of donor insemination. About 10,000 enquiries about donor insemination treatment are made in the UK each year. Although the treatment itself is straightforward, the personal, family and social implications of having a child by donor insemination require careful consideration. This book draws on the experience of couples whose own children were conceived by donor insemination and makes the knowledge gained by their experiences available to other childless couples. This completely revised version of the widely recommended "The Gift of a Child", first published in 1984, also incorporates information about the regulations covering donor insemination contained in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990.
