Advocacy

We advocate for consistent legislation in the area of donor conception, whether that be through state-based or federal laws. DCA is guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (the CRC) and the Geneva Principles on Donor Conception and Surrogacy which were provided to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child by donor-conceived people on the 30th anniversary of the CRC. DCA advocates for a regulatory framework in which the rights of the child created are of paramount importance in all policy and practice relating to ART. This includes the right to identifying information about their origins, including donor and sibling linking services, regardless of when or where they were conceived.
