New @PET_BioNews blog by @Leahgilman84 makes the case for moving beyond a 'just say no' approach to informal donor conception. This will improve support and recognition for the parents and their children and families & donors who do take this route. shorturl.at/whWid

We are now launching the second phase of the digital donor conception study. We would love to hear from parents or donors with experience of 'informal' (i.e. non-clinical) routes to donor conception in the UK.
RTs hugely appreciated
