The sensitive topic of egg donation or oocyte donation yields many comments.
The responses and input from people who are skilled and experienced in this topic are however the most valuable.
The benefit of finding an egg donor who closely resembles the recipient's physical profile is that those outside of the egg donation process need not be any the wiser.
Many recipients of donor eggs ponder over whether they should advise the child conceived of their real conception.
Not to tell may be viewed as dishonest or secretive.
For the couple or family who believe this is the only option - as long as their motives for full disclosure are honourable and give them peace of mind, then it is their prerogative.
The option of not disclosing that your child is from an egg donor removes the detailed explanations, excessive questions, comments, opinions, disagreement and slyness.
This way - other than the parents - only the fertility clinic and donor egg agency are informed and these are professional bodies who are sworn to secrecy.
The couple who embark on an egg donation programme have to decide together about the consequences.
It is traumatic enough enduring the treatment, which already introduces its own inherent stress levels.
It is not really necessary for any one else to know, not even the child.
The really important aspect is that the child is brought into a positive and loving environment - free from possible discrimation of alientation because of the egg donation.
The decision as to whether to disclose to either family or child the details or even concept about egg donation is as with every thing else about egg donation a personal decision.
