Project description This project will disseminate the findings of Jennifer Speirs' PhD thesis ‘Secretly connected? Anonymous semen donation, genetics and meanings of kinship’.
Jennifer's thesis explores the views of men who donated semen anonymously between 25 and 45 years ago about what it means to them to have been a donor. It also analyses the continuing disputes about the need for secrecy amongst infertility treatment provision stakeholders in the UK and the connection between these disputes and beliefs about what constitutes fatherhood.
