High Court strikes down petition to end sperm donor anonymity

The High Court of Israel has struck down a legal petition aimed at ending sperm donor anonymity in the country. Currently, children conceived via sperm donation in Israel are legally barred from learning their biological father's identity.

Petitioners had brought the case to the court arguing for the recognition of a child's right to know their biological origins, pointing out that advancements in technology are already eroding traditional donor secrecy.
