🚨 Donor-conceived people in the UK have significantly different rights to information depending on their date of conception. 🗃️ New proposals would increase inconsistency and arguably unfairness, say Caroline Redhead & Lucy Frith. 👇

Here's our latest newsletter - with a snapshot of what we have been doing. As ever, we are grateful to everyone who has participated in or supported our research. It's been an exciting year! CSEP Manchester Lucy Frith Caroline Redhead Leah Gilman
