In Episode 32, Nick speaks with Peter Boni, donor conceived person and author of the book "Uprooted". Peter's story is unlike any other so far, as he was conceived in the 1940s and spent two decades on a search for answers, restlessly researching the world of artificial insemination and infertility treatments for the sake of his own understanding, and eventually for our entire community's.
