Challenging donor anonymity: Tracing my father could save my life'
Telegraph.co.uk reports: Sperm donations prior to 1991 were anonymous. There was and is no requirement for a record to be kept. Between 1991 and 2005 (when the law changed again), records of sperm and egg donors were kept, and, since October 2009, any child born of those donations can apply (after the age of 18 or in special cases, 16) for non-identifying information about their biological parent, such as hair colour – but not the name.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/6840705/sperm-donor-IVF-mantle-cell-lymphoma.html?state=target#postacomment&postingId=6860675
