High Court ruled that sperm donors can seek access to their offspring

It is now possible for males that donate sperm to apply to seek a role in the lives of their biological children.

Mr Justice Baker ruled that two men (with a civil partnership) could apply through the courts for contact with a child of their sperm used by lesbian couples they are friends with. There were disagreements about the level of the men's involvement, despite the contact between the couples after birth- so they applied to the courts. He ruled that, in this case, it was appropriate for the biological fathers to apply for a contact order.

Should sperm donors have contact with their biological children? Of course, this could have implications on both the donor and the family involved. It would be a scary prospect for many parents, if the donors could apply for courts orders. Surely, it is most vital that plans are already in place prior to the use of fertility treatment.
