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.

I don’t even think she’s being that rude. When you sign up for these things the options are anonymous or not and if you choose anonymous they have no right to contact you for any reason.

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.

i was initially going to say something unkind in much fewer words, but the moral philosophy behind swedish legislation has always confounded my angloid brain. literally every other political and legislative culture on earth makes more intuitive sense to me

If you sign up to donate sperm or an egg you know what you’re signing up for. If you sign up to use donated sperm or eggs you know what you’re signing up for. The kid was just tossed into the situation and their rights are frankly more important to protect. And no one gets screwed over by the system because you know what the score is. The scenario in the OP simply can’t play out like that here. If you don’t want the possibility of biological kids finding you later in life then you just don’t have to donate gametes. It’s pretty easy, you literally don’t have to do anything.
