Another thing I wonder is if the law is changed what happens to children born to infertile couples if either an anonymous egg or sperm donor is used to conceive?

In the case of a divorce and DNA test that shows that one parent is not biological then what happens? Do they go back to the sperm clinic and try to find out who the donor is to sue him for child support?

If I were to ever use DNA donation to conceive I would make sure I had an iron-clad agreement with my spouse to make sure that they couldn't weasel out if the marriage went south, just by virtue of the DNA not being theirs.

There is no such thing as an iron-clad agreement for a man if it's with a woman.

There have actually been a handful of cases both in the U.S. and in Europe where a sperm donor has been required to make child support payments.
