Comments
Section C (No anonymous donation of gametes shall be allowed for use in any procedure for the treatment of infertility pursuant to this section.) does not seem clear to me. By "anonymous donation" does he mean that the Donnor would be disclosed to the patient? The above sections seem to imply that the donnor could not be very anonymous to the physician.
