ASRM Today: Donor Anonymity

In this episode, host we speak with Gina Davis, a multi-state licensed board-certified genetic counselor, and founder of Advocate Genetics. We dive into how the anonymity of donors has changed over the years and how providers can help families integrate this decision into their lives. The discussion covers the impact of at-home genetic testing and how it has opened the door to relative-finding, leading to a new way of seeing genetic identity and identity narratives. The conversation also delves into how genetic counselors approach counseling recipients about the impact of genetics in their decision-making and recommendations for disclosing a child's genetic origins. Listen in to gain a deeper understanding of the changing landscape of donor anonymity and the importance of genetic identity.
