TangledWebs is an action group, challenging Donor Conception (DC) practices in Australia & internationally.

TW has members in Australia, UK, USA & the Netherlands. Members have personal and/or professional experience that relates to donor conecption or adoption. TW provides an alternative voice to ART through greater recognition of the complex, lifelong issues that affect the person created through DC. It is our view that there are significant moral, social & legal issues that arise from DC practices that have intergenerational consequences for the wider human family & community.

TW advocates equal rights and protection for all DC people, as defined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.  We believe that DC practices throughout the world contravene the rights of the child/adult who is created in these circumstances.

TW is commited to ensuring that future legislation be enacted to provide all DC adults with retrospective access to information concerning their biological/genealogical parentage.

TW seeks to raise public awareness concerning the issues of identity/kinship loss fo DC people.  We are committed to ensuring that all DC people have access to adequate emotional, practical support to assist them with their life experience of kinship loss & possible reconciliation with disconnected kin.

TW seeks to promote the establishment of the Infertility Treatment Authority's (Victoria, Australia) Voluntary Register (and similar registers in other states & overseas) encouraging DC offspring, past donors & recipient parents to register.

TW has grave concern relating to a wide range of moral & ethical issues surrounding ART, but our particular focus is donor conception issues.

TW believes it is essential to shift the focus of donor conception from meeting the needs of adults, including donors, to defending the rights of the children/adults born as a result and protecting them from the intrinsic injustices of the practice.


TW is a private (yahoo) group with members only able to join upon invitation.
