Sure, but there is also this means of providing it. And it's a legally binding means. As for the parental rights associated eith being on a birth certificate, there aren't any necessarily associated, and a donor forfeits parental rights such as it were by default.
I honestly have an issue with the concept of anonymous donors. I can understand not wanting to be involved with the life of the child conceived, but to deny the knowledge of who their biological parent is seems unfair.
I clearly am on the other side of the fence on this, but I do understand what you are saying
