Since its inception, donor conception practices have been a reproductive choice for the infertile. Past and current practices have the potential to cause significant and lifelong harm to the offspring through loss of kinship, heritage, identity, and family health history, and possibly through introducing physical problems. Legislation and regulation in Australia that specifies that the welfare of the child born as a consequence of donor conception is paramount may therefore be in conflict with the outcomes. Altering the paradigm to a child-centric model, however, impinges on reproductive choice and rights of adults involved in the process. With some lobby groups pushing for increased reproductive choice while others emphasise offspring rights there is a dichotomy of interests that society and legislators need to address. Concepts pertaining to a shift toward a child-centric paradigm are discussed.
自成立以来，供体受精实践一直是不孕患者的一种生殖选择。过去和现在的实践有可能通过丧失亲属关系、遗产、身份和家族健康史，并且可能通过引入身体问题，对后代造成重大和终身的伤害。澳大利亚的立法和监管规定，作为供体受精后果而出生的孩子的福利是最重要的，因此这可能与结果相冲突。然而，将范式改变为以儿童为中心的模式，会侵犯参与该过程的成年人的生殖选择和权利。一些游说团体提倡增加生殖选择，而另一些团体则强调后代的权利，因此社会和立法者需要解决利益的二分法。讨论了与向以儿童为中心的范式转变相关的概念。
