چکیده
The five commentators who responded to our article, ‘Gamete donor anonymity and limits on numbers of offspring: the views of three stakeholders’,1 raised several of the same issues; they also expressed some quite different concerns.

We then respond first to the shared points and then to two that we view as being unique. In our last section, we introduce some newdata thatmight help elucidate the debates at stake here.
