Join us this week as we dive into the complex world of donor conception with Leah Gilman, a researcher at the University of Sheffield. Leah’s groundbreaking work explores the perspectives of donors, recipients, and donor-conceived children.

In this episode, we discuss:

The emotional landscape of donors and their feelings toward recipients and offspring
The unique experiences of egg donors vs. sperm donors
The significance of allowing donors and families to connect for medical or emotional reasons

Discover the importance of understanding individual stories and fostering connections beyond labels. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of a topic that impacts many lives!
