Summary
For persons who wish to have children but are unable to produce their gametes, assisted reproductive technology (ART) involving donated gametes suggests a means of becoming gestational and social parents (Figure 15.1). Conceiving with a donor gamete ultimately yields a child who lacks genetic relations with one or both of the parents. In order to compensate for this genetic lack, some fertility clinics match the ethnicity of gamete donors and recipient parents, to increase the likelihood that the resulting child will have phenotypic characteristics of the receiving parent despite the absence of a direct genetic link. This matching allows the family to keep secrecy about the use of a donor by ensuring that the child could look as a genetic child.
