Product Description

What is it like to grow up knowing that one was conceived from
donor sperm - or to find this out only much later in life? How does it
feel to meet, for the first time, other children of one's donor father - or
to continue to search for the identity of the donor and of other relatives?
In this book, three adult offspring conceived by donor insemination share
their experiences. Dr Alexina McWhinnie, a social researcher who has
worked extensively in the area of assisted conception, reflects further on
their stories and those of other donor-conceived adults.

This collection of essays was commissioned by the Idreos Education Trust to
raise awareness of the impact of donor conception on the offspring, and on
his/her social family. The book is intended both for the general reader
and for those with a personal or professional interest in donor conception.
It has been distributed free of charge to Members of Parliament.
