Kinship: Born and bred (but also facilitated)? A commentary on 'donor conception: Ethical aspects of information sharing' (Nuffield councilon bioethics, London 2013)

摘要

Some questions seem to need no thought at all. Secrecy or openness? Lies or truth? In each instance, one answer seems obvious, the other repellent. More than this, a straight, to-the-point answer seems the only sensible choice. Why complicate the questions? To do so would raise the spectre of the Secret State;1 it might also stymie moves towards 'open' science and give succour to practices of commercial confidentiality that harm life and health.
