Help for donor conceived children

From Afternoons, 1:22 pm on 27 May 2021

A group of people who are a result of anonymous egg and or sperm donations are calling on the government to honour a commitment made through a law change in 2004 to help them find out more about their donor DNA.

Rebecca Hamilton is among those who is seeking to find out more about her donor father and is frustrated by the lack of action or help for children who were born via donors after 2005.

She talks to Jesse about what's been happening and the difficulties in tracking down donors and a looming deadline for the government for donor children born in the last 17 years.
