  • Summary

  • Assisted reproduction is big business in the United States. Why isn’t the industry of making babies better regulated? Is the case of Donor 9623 an aberration? Or just one of many?

Negligence At Its Worst

Narration and interviews excellent. Warning, you may need to take some aspirin, like I did, because I got so angry at the utter uncaring incompetence and then when the facts come to light the company's trying to deny and spin the information was infuriating my head was ready to explode. The worst is the suffering and guilt the parents feel and then the children who now have the worry and fear they may develop a potentially crippling mental illness. And to top it off there is very little to no regulation or oversight of this industry and thus no consequences for their actions or inaction.

Poor me perspective…

If you like to hear people moan for hours on end then this is the podcast for you.This was nothing more than a glorified grievance box for the victims. A poorly regulated for-profit sperm bank got duped by a guy, the end.

Issues overhype

T he story is interesting, but the morality issue isn't that complicated. By thesaurus presented the issue, and what they left out, they made it seem a much bigger deal than it is.
