A classic concern of anyone who uses donor insemination is how the
child will feel about it over time. In this show, we talk with two
people who have an intimate knowledge of this issue. Kathleen
is a donor-conceived adult who felt she was special after she
learned of her origins when she was eight; since then she has gone
to great lengths to learn more about her donor and her background.
Joanna
Scheib (pictured here) is a researcher affiliated with The Sperm Bank of California who
has done extensive research with offspring who are entitled to meet
their identity-release donors. She tells us what they tend to want
to know, and what concerns them.
