In 2024, the Quebec ministry of Health and Social Services commissioned four harm reduction videos about the practice of online sperm donation from the Canada Research Chair in Third-Party Reproduction and Family Ties. Published in October 2025, these videos accompany the quebec.ca update on informal sperm donation. 

Our partners on this project are the Quebec LGBT+ Family Coalition and the JEFAR Research Center (Youth, Families and Social Responses) at Université Laval. We also thank our advisory committee.
