Should I tell him the truth about his father? - The Guardian UK 5/7/09

Not specific to "donor" conception but if the "experts" say "This man deserves to know who his biological father is - I believe we all have a right to know our genetic history so we can understand ourselves as fully as possible. This information might also be important practically - an awareness of any medical condition on his father's side could affect his health and life expectancy." This, of course, should equally apply to any individual regardless of conception method.

"Cheryl Miller Replies to my Rebuttal
This is my contribution to a back and forth dialogue on her article as a reply to her response:

I would like to see if Cheryl has any data (hard evidence) to support her assumption. I provided published data while she has made an assertion based on anecdotal evidence and a media beat-up of a story.
