Document Summary
We are not born, we become tori. Spelling: all of us take pride and pleasure in the fact that we are unique, but i"m afaid that when all is said and done the police are right: it all comes down to fingerprints. Identity is partly heritage, partly upbringing, but mostly the choices you make in life- patricia briggs. Case 1: couple chooses to use di to conceive a child. The donor is to be the husbands younger brother. The husband expresses feelings of inadequacy about his inability to father a child naturally and is very reluctant to use his brother for this purpose. He agrees to do so in order to satisfy his wife"s keen desire to have a child, but on the condition the child never be told the identity of his biological father. Why make donation anonymous: non-genetic parent may experience the donor as threatening.
