Description
"Sperm Sisters", a group of three sisters who found each other for the first time in their 30s. Join Natasha, Gemma and Helen every week as they learn more about the crazy donor conceived world that we all live in, and enjoy bonus episodes where they share personal stories worthy of their own Netflix documentary. Each episode, the sisters set out to uncover the murky world of dodgy 80s medical malpractice: anonymous sperm donors, hundreds of siblings, no paperwork trails - and yes, this had been going on for over 20 years in fertility clinics across the world. Will they ever know who their biological Dad is? Will more siblings pop up on their DNA test apps? Have a listen and find out.

Harriet is back with even more questions that we guarantee you haven't thought about before, as we continue to unravel the complicated world of medical ethics, donor conception, sperm donation and fertility treatm...
How well do you really know your sister? When you meet your sisters for the first time as adults, there's a LOT of catching up to do. So, in this week's episode of Sperm Sisters, Gemma and Helen secretly contacted Nat's closest friends to uncover the stories and memories (and, of course, embarrassing moments) that shaped the sister they never got to grow up with. From wild adventures in France and Australia to raucous university parties, to the (not so) surprisingly thoughtful things Nat does...
Would you trust 55-year-old sperm? And if scientists can create sperm and eggs from skin cells, are donor-conceived kids about to become a thing of the past?! Welcome to this week's episode, "Effics" - part 1 of our chat with Harriet, close friend of the podcast and actually qualified to discuss the ethics of the medical industry. Join us as we begin to unravel who goes on the birth certificate when surrogacy is involved and why can't scientists research a fertilised embryo? Also, if do...
