Good in what way? It will give credance to not allowing the fathers identity to be revealed?
As for burning the records, I don't think so because it is technically a medical record. I think patient medical records have to be kept for 6 or 7 years before its acceptable to destroy them without consulting the patient. Not sure if that's a law though, or the college of physician & surgeons policy.
I think a better answer is just to allow truly anonymous donation - ie no paper trail with any identifiers.
