Introducing the Drifts project

Spotlight on our research projects (2024)
Published on April 18, 2024

What is the research project about?

What is the impact of certain regulation loopholes on donor-conceived people’s lives?

What loopholes are we talking about?

  • Insemination fraud: when the chosen donor’s sperm is swapped with a different sample, such as a sperm sample from the doctor who performs the insemination.
  • Sperm donor overuse: when a donor is used to conceive more than 15 children.
