UP Law SARChI doctoral candidate on the right of donor-conceived children to information concerning their genetic origins

Posted on August 13, 2018

Rani Pillay, a SARChI doctoral candidate at the Faculty of Law of the University of Pretoria, whose specialisation is in Child Law, Bioethics and Medical Law, was interviewed by the Sunday Times on 12 August 2018.   Her press commentary was on domestic and foreign legal positions relating to the right of donor-conceived children to information concerning their genetic origins.  

The topic is linked to Rani’s doctoral thesis which focuses on the impact of advances in medical science, particularly assisted reproductive technologies, on the informational and identity rights of children artificially conceived through the use of donor gametes.  Rani is supervised by Professor Trynie Boezaart of the Department of Private Law and co-supervised by Professor Erika de Wet, SARChI Professor in International Constitutional Law.
