How are siblings who were conceived using the same sperm or egg
donor making connections in the absence of legal support? What is
it like to discover you are part of a 50+ donor sibling group? How
are donor conceived adults using new technologies to connect with
genetic family and explore their identity? This edited collection
considers the donor linking experiences of donor conceived adults
and children, recipient parents, and donors in a global context. It
includes contributions from legal academics, social workers,
sociologists, psychologists, and policy makers who work in the
assisted conception field. As a result, it will be of particular
interest to scholars of reproductive law, sociology, and digital
media and reproductive technologies. It will also engage those
following the debate around donor linking and the use of
do-it-yourself technologies, including direct-to-consumer genetic
testing and social media.
