This is family policy matter program is produced by the North Carolina family policy Council of profamily research and education organization dedicated to strengthening and preserving the family and elf in the studio. Here's John Rushton, president of the North Carolina family policy Council, thank you for joining us for family policy matters.

It is our pleasure to have Alana Newman on the program. Alana is a writer and fertility industry watchdog and the founder of the anonymous project an online story collective for third party reproduction Alana's altar of the excellent feature article in the spring 2014 issue of family North Carolina the North Carolina family policy Council's quarterly magazine.

The article is entitled creating a marketplace of children, a donor conceived woman explains the harms of third-party reproduction.

We are excited to have Alana on the program to talk about her article and to share some of her personal story Alana, welcome to family policy matters. Time will is great to have you witnessed Nello before we begin. If you would third-party reproduction for us and describe how prevalent it is in America today or I are staring at the orchard where women carried a baby around for coming out real good about how prevalent that what we do now it back one and Bob where outside of the body and the embryos implanted and come to her and we know that I'm getting so that had dropped in the last 50 years. No reason to believe that there's a lot of people eating no Alana, you come to reproduction from two different but related perspectives. First, as a child conceived through donor conception and also was a woman who sold her drugs to a fertility clinic should look at your story if you will, and particularly the experience you have in selling your eggs to a fertility clinic well welcome. When people are 20 times more likely to go on to sell their own later in life for me in my early 20s I will always hold that was nice talking on the tank is normally known by context. Fellow couples can forget tell you why would I get strongly against community wrong and in my mind I DEA done. I was aware that them a little bit better tell it was the only experience that I could share with my biological father. It seemed like a black and semi-extremely painful. Second only to actually getting birth, low price that there really is a Gen X component to selling offspring will be important to make in the article has to do with how the fertility industry markets anonymous against blood donation, we talk more about the marketing techniques. The industry uses to convince young women and men stated in the article" to sell their future children what language you say not offering clear parenthood now language in the contract now you will not be considered the parent you are relinquishing your parental rights language is not clear in the contract.

When the market give the gift of life. They appeal to all truism is that attractive fix.

Getting all these things 100 skills. One of the things that really called at all interested in.

This was good on commercials on radio stations in the Raleigh-Durham area promoting women donating their eggs to a fertility clinic and that was typically a young female voice in the� I am a young professional of graduate from college of gotten my first job, but I don't really have money to live the, washed all that I want to or like to take a backpacking trip to Europe or something like that and the way that I found that I could pay for that was to give the gift of life and donate my legs to a fertility clinic and I think it's just exactly what you're talking about.

It gives a very attractive notion but in reality there is all a very very complex set of issues surrounding this whole matter deathly something that we all need to be concerned about about the harms to children who were conceived through third-party reproductive means you talk a little bit about your experience and would truly like to hear more about that account of impact does this have on your life and have you seen it have on other people's lives. America could not urgent, I got to discover someone else had written my memoir that the consequent growth corporately father plotted on the number one pick a child now. Not because internal partner really want you to get Doherty's partner pictures� I thought I had more likely to have. He is well academically.

Maybe girls are more promiscuous day. Teen pregnancy did not like people felt open to talk about here. It is I want to know who I am 20 years old when the direct critic is African-American removed gold away from very natural family and agree on That risk getting back into the game with. I think I think I can pick people expected about $75 in exchange for probably nothing to do with me and I know probably think that that led reality that make it hard article to this already. During our conversation is third-party reproduction.

Williams of denying some of the individuals involved as basic human rights, and particularly to children can talk about this a little bit more from the standpoint of the denial and unpack to help us understand what you mean when you speak about the law.

I determining equally. We know intrinsically couple struggling financially and they find out for fertility clinic needed anything that a couple takes 30 drag the possibility of getting pregnant get paid they can anyways give the child a print option one.

Why is morally problematic you deliberately child to give it away. My problem is true betrayal for attachment to it deliberately conceived a child to be given away a lot of work with the anonymous hose project. You have no doubt heard quite a few stories from going to conceived individuals like yourself based on the stories.

What are some of the common homes that you have seen and experienced both by donor conceived men and women, particularly from the men because we often when we talk about this, we may think in terms of women who donate their eggs or who are donor conceived themselves, but also men who are sperm donors or who were conceived through donor circumstances, so what are some of the harms and experiences that you've heard from others). I I find it much more, not women. Try not to talk about it guys are isolated leveling exchange that I really potentially harmful, what with the guy was Working on strike honored and respected and how to get a bad rap. And so after just getting a job like today because it's not calibrated children now on, but what disposal of this father gives them to look forward to what their value on every contact, no point she makes all the close of the increase in production is contributing to a mom said in our culture that mothers and fathers all disposable or interchangeable talk about that for a minute if you would how how does third-party reproduction contribute to the myth that the political structure of the family is really irrelevant in today's society is working very hard to sell their products. So a lot of marketing and started crying. Think Browning heterosexual couples using biological father not important.

Can you get now couple to come and stay while the biological gender matter on the other kid, I will if what the QI think I can make myself like you spend gaining scary good because it was and can't kid there now have 23 using a connection tag $100,000 and $300,000 for one day make it into their very best. The proliferation of the blood of a child.

Making money when great is not apparent that the war that we nations of all this was shortly.
