The paper's main goal is to elaborate on the ethical issues that heterologous fertilization has raised as to the right of children thus conceived to find out about their origins. Such a quandary revolves around the following questions: Is it the right thing to inform the child as to the way he or she was conceived? If it is, does said child have a right to know his or her biological parent and genetic background too? Authors point out that there is no unanimity of judgment among experts, and it is worth weighing all reasons in favor and against acknowledging the children's right to full knowledge of their biological parents' data. Laws regulating the issue in different countries vary substantially as well. Therefore, the authors advocate for shared legislation, centered on the children's best interest.
本文的主要目标是详细阐述异源受精引发的伦理问题，即由此受孕的孩子了解其身世的权利。这样一个难题围绕以下问题展开：告知孩子其受孕方式是否正确？如果是，这个孩子是否也有权了解其亲生父母和基因背景？作者指出，专家们的判断并不一致，权衡支持和反对承认孩子充分了解其亲生父母信息权利的所有理由是值得的。不同国家规范这一问题的法律也有很大差异。因此，作者主张以儿童的最大利益为核心制定统一的立法。
