Gail Pascoe - Delving into Donor Conception

Gail Pascoe is a Writer, Presenter and Facilitator in the field of donor conception & IVF. Her knowledge and experience as an individual who conceived a daughter with donor sperm that has conceived over 100 siblings, is truly fascinating. The field of donor conception has greatly expanded in the last decade, while a greater percentage of the population is seeking this option as a means of starting a family. A recent Four Corner documentary piqued my interest in the space and it was the fortuitous timing that an introduction from a former guest, Eileen Orsmby, came via email. Gail’s nous in many of the moral questions in this space allows us to consider what the future of conception and childbearing may hold. This was an insightful discussion, where we covered: * Why Gail chose donor conception * The donor & IVF process * Learning from pregnancy * Sperm banks and morality * Connecting with your donor * Bizarre donor stories
