The rights of Donor-Conceived Children... Do they have any?

I recently read this article on children who were donor-conceived. There seems to be more and more in the news on this as children, who are growing up trying to figure out who they are, fight for their right to know their paternity. I hope these children win the right for updated medical history and to know the truth about their biological make-up. I hope that someday, those who choose to donate sperm are required to go through extensive psychological evaluations and counseled in how to handle their potential children contacting them decades down the road. What do you think? Should men be able to just donate their sperm for cash without having to provide information that could some day be critical to the children conceived from their DNA?
