Media seeking DONOR OFFSPRING for new documentary

[Note from Lindsay: This is open media call to ANY donor conceived adult, regardless of where you live]


WHO AM I?


WHO AM I? 

How do you define identity?  What role, if any, has genetics played in shaping the person you are today?

 

We’re SEEKING DONOR OFFSPRING to participate in an international high end documentary series on Assisted Reproductive Technology and the link between biological and genetic history and identity.  What makes this documentary series unique is that it is told through the eyes of the offspring conceived through ART; your EYES.

We want to hear your stories; your perspectives; your insights into the impact of the technology that helped bring you into this world and your vision for the future.
