“Parents struggling with fertility have a many options these days thanks to advances in medicine and technology. What is often left out here are the struggles of people created with these methods. This podcast dives deep into the issues surrounding the industry, trauma of dc people, and many of the positive aspects of it as well. There are a few poor reviews here that mistakenly imply that the existence of this podcast is being insensitive to parents who struggle with fertility. Both parents and offspring have struggles and one side’s problems do not invalidate the other. If anything, the call to action here is that we need to improve the experience around the fertility industry for the sake of the offspring as well as the parents, e.g. by having records available for more than 7 years and helping recipient parents navigate this topic with thief children. Technology has enable so much good to happen and the methods that help people achieve their goal of having children are no different. It’s the predatory, misleading, and hypocritical nature of the fertility industry which employs this technology that this podcast explores and more parents should become informed of that so they can make the best decisions for their own families. Fertility clinics had no business promising anonymity to donors, they were literally donating half of their genetic code which is very uniquely identifiable. Offspring also signed so such agreement to keep them anonymous and therefore have no duty to no go poking around their genetic background. As a donor conceived person myself, it is refreshing to be heard in this way. The journey of finding out has been filled with ups and downs and everyone’s story is different. I hope more parents can listen to this with an open mind to hopefully help avoid trauma associated with keeping secrets of their child’s origin from them.”

“Cows are not products and the cows do not have it better than you. They are enslaved, raped, tortured and their children are stolen from them…. I think that’s not “fair”!”
