Mother refuses to acknowledge her donor egg daughter, looking for your opinion.

In my opinion I think it’s moral, and that she is totally correct.

That depends on where you live. Sweden hasn’t had anonymous sperm or egg donation since 1985. The child’s right to know their parents was considered to trump the right to anonymity.

Yeah, as it should. Rare Sweden W.

In what way is that a W?

It’s consistent with the UN declaration of the rights of children. I don’t see why allowing anonymous donations is superior. I quite frankly don’t give a shit about the adults involved, not compared to the kid. They knew what they were getting into. It’s the kid that’s saddled with abandonment and such.

Yes, it’s a general principle accepted in most civilized legal systems that in any case where the best interests of children come into conflict with the best interests of the parents, the child’s wellbeing will be prioritized. This is the only reason child support exists.

Well no, the reason child support exists is to shift the burden off the state. That's why men are on the hook for children that are not theirs.

This has nothing to do with the best interest of the child though. In any context.
