Episode 29: Does my donor have 1000 children?

“Kate” (a pseudonym) and is 1 half of the Australian same-sex couple that featured in the New York Times article “The Case of the Serial Sperm Donor”. Unknowingly to them at the time the donor they were to select from a Cyros donor list was to be Europe’s most prolific online/clinic donor. They now live in fear of all their stored frozen embryos being destroyed by the Australian clinic currently storing them if their identity was to be revealed, denying their son the chance of having a full-blooded sibling.
