I really...Thanks for that clarification, Anonymous. I really appreciate it. I tried to look up news stories about this decision to see what became of it but I didn't see anything about this unfortunate denouement.<br /><br />As a Canadian all I can say is that I am disgusted by the government and the court system for allowing the travesty of anonymous third party donation to continue. <br /><br />Not a constitutional right, is it? One day it will surely be recognized as such, and many of our leaders will hopefully be red with shame for allowing it to continue for so long.

Supreme Court agreed with her, concluding anonymous sperm donation "is harmful to the child" and striking down sections of the province's Adoption Act as unconstitutional. The judge in the case also ordered a permanent injunction against the destruction of donor records.<br /><br />But the victory was short-lived.<br /><br />Last fall, the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned the lower court's decision, ruling there is no constitutional right to know the identity of one's parents.<br /><br />Pratten asked the Supreme Court of Canada to intervene, but on Thursday, the high court said it would not hear the case. As usual, the court did not provide its reasons for refusing to hear the appeal."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
