Wow!

This is such an interesting concept. My dad had schizophrenia and he killed himself. So, this kinda hits close to home. But, I really think it’s completely on the company to vet the donors. Complete bullshit that they offered a “disclaimer” to the potential mothers. It was setup for disaster.

Investigative Reporting

Excellent narration and interesting important current topic. In listening to this series I keep getting more and more appalled at this corporate/medical business and their utter lack of honesty and integrity. Then you think well of course the courts cannot help but set this right but oh no the Georgia court sides with the corporation. The only person that brings any small amount of attention and shines any light on these contemptible corporate practices is the investigative reporter. What I hope is that they can get some Federal regulations and oversight enforcement for sperm banks, that is the only way they will clean up their act.

Poorly written and narrated

this is hard to listen to. its very slow, sounds like its written by a 12 year old, and the narrator is not good.
