State lawmakers in Michigan are gearing up this week to vote on the state’s first assisted reproduction and surrogacy parentage act. That may sound like a pro-child and pro-family effort, but it’s just the opposite. The devil, as always, is in the details.

Of course, these biological parents are not really “donating” their sperm or eggs. A highly lucrative industry profits from buying and selling such gametes. Sperm may be sold for up to $1,500 and a woman’s eggs have a starting price of $2,500. In weird but all-too-common cases, men can father “Donor” egg or sperm is just a legal euphemism for depriving a child of a relationship with his or her biological parent. There are deep moral problems with this use of technology, and especially with the Michigan law. The state should, at a minimum, follow Colorado and prohibit all anonymous egg and sperm donations. Colorado rightly recognized that children desire to know who their biological mother and father are.
While unusual for a child to have six “parents” like this, the current bill makes this scenario possible. Such a bizarre arrangement is tailor-made to create an identity crisis for the child involved.
