Show Notes

It’s time to talk about embryo donation - one of the many paths to modern family building. Eloise will cover the basics of how it works and where the embryos come from, and even address the tough legal and ethical considerations behind the practice, and the reasons why someone may choose to donate their surplus embryos as opposed to choosing another disposition for them. We’ll also look at the recipient side of things - how do you find and qualify to receive donor embryos? Where do you even start looking, and what kind of cost can you expect?
