Dempsey, Nordqvist and Kelly’s recent publication in BioSocieties highlights the complexity of disclosure in donor conception, which is legally, ethically, and morally challenging. However, contemporary society means that donor-conceived people’s awareness of their conception history can no longer be controlled by their parents. Late, accidental, and non-parent disclosure is becoming more prevalent and can be distressing. Research has consistently found that openness in donor conception families from an early age is optimal, and that disclosure positively impacts rather than threatens family relationships. Despite this, disclosure can be difficult for parents, particularly if they perceive an unsupportive social context. Both donor conception and adoption literature has found more positive outcomes among disclosing families compared to non-disclosing families and interestingly, parents who have chosen to disclose have not reported regret. This response briefly discussed these important considerations and also notes some instances of inaccurate reporting and misleading information in their article.

Dempsey、Nordqvist 和 Kelly 最近在BioSocieties上发表的文章强调了披露捐赠者受孕的复杂性，这在法律、伦理和道德上都具有挑战性。然而，当代社会意味着供体受孕者对其受孕历史的认识不再能够由父母控制。迟到、意外和非家长的披露变得越来越普遍，并且可能令人痛苦。研究一致发现，捐赠者受孕家庭从小就公开是最佳的，而且这种公开会对家庭关系产生积极影响而不是威胁。尽管如此，对于父母来说，披露信息可能很困难，特别是如果他们认为社会环境不支持的话。捐赠者受孕和收养文献都发现，与不公开的家庭相比，公开的家庭取得了更积极的结果，有趣的是，选择公开的父母并没有表示后悔。此回复简要讨论了这些重要的考虑因素，并指出了文章中一些不准确的报告和误导性信息的实例。
