Abstract

This research aims at the protection of human rights of the children born by Artificial Insemination by Donor. This research studied the development of legislation in Western countries regarding children's right to know about their parents, that is to say, their right to know their birth origin. Moreover it conducted interviews with children born by Artificial Insemination by Donor both in the U.S. and Japan and obtained the following statement which can be termed "Loss of the Narrative". 1. This was carried out without my informed consent and without my permission. 2. I want to be convinced that I was born not from just sperm and mother but from father and mother. Also I wish I had a chance to meet my genetic father. The outcomes of this research concludes that a system to guarantee the AID children's right to know their birth origin is required in order to reconstruct their lost narrative, clarification of the structure of challenges surrounding AID children, and clarification that the essence of those challenges can be deemed as "Social Abuse".
