There's a huge difference between "identity disclosed" and "identity kept".

I was joking about that being the cause of Britain's mental illness problem but here are some sources about it [spoiler: anonymous donations aren't rare]:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...ldren.html

"Diane Beeson: Sperm donation has become big business and many sperm banks and fertility specialists have feared that ending anonymity of donors would reduce the supply of donor."
http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/...conception

"Now, there is growing concern among parents, donors and medical experts about potential negative consequences of having so many children fathered by the same donors, including the possibility that genes for rare diseases could be spread more widely through the population. Some experts are even calling attention to the increased odds of accidental incest between half sisters and half brothers, who often live close to one another."
