The question whether or not parents of children conceived after donor insemination (DI) tell their offspring about its biological background was addressed. Swedish legislation from 1985 gives the child born after DI the right, when grown up, to receive identifying information about the sperm donor. Until now no information about compliance with the law has been available. All parents who gave birth to a child by DI after the new legislation in two major Swedish fertility centres (Stockholm and Umeâ) received a questionnaire containing questions about the issue of informing the child. The response rate was 80%. The majority of parents (89%) had not informed their children, whereas 59% had told someone else. As a response to an open question, 105/132 parents chose to comment on their answer about not having informed their child. Of these families, 61 intended to tell their child later, 16 were not sure and 28 were not going to inform the child. Compliance with the law must be regarded as low since only 52% of the parents had told or intended to tell their child. In addition, concern is raised about the children who run the risk of being informed by someone other than their parents.
探讨了接受供精人工授精（DI）后受孕的孩子的父母是否会告知其后代生物学背景这一问题。1985年的瑞典法律赋予DI后出生的孩子在成年后有权获得关于精子捐赠者的身份识别信息。到目前为止，尚无关于法律遵守情况的信息。瑞典两个主要生育中心（斯德哥尔摩和于默奥）在新立法后通过DI生育孩子的所有父母都收到了一份问卷，其中包含关于告知孩子这一问题的提问。回复率为80%。大多数父母（89%）没有告知他们的孩子，而59%的父母告诉了其他人。作为对一个开放性问题的回应，132位父母中有105位选择就他们没有告知孩子的回答发表评论。在这些家庭中，61个家庭打算以后告诉他们的孩子，16个家庭不确定，28个家庭不打算告知孩子。由于只有52%的父母已经告知或打算告知他们的孩子，因此必须认为法律遵守情况较低。此外，人们对那些有被父母以外的人告知风险的孩子表示担忧。
