The Donor: A DNA Horror Story Intro
08/05/24 • 1 min
In the mid-1980s, Hal worked his way through medical school as an anonymous sperm donor. Thirty years later, Hal was one of 23AndMe's first customers, curious about his health genes. He had no idea that he'd just destroyed his donor anonymity. Suddenly, seven total strangers found “Daddy.” Except six of them had no idea that their actual biological father was a sperm donor. And the seventh? She knew. And she'd been looking for him. The Donor: A DNA Horror story follows an unexpected ripple effect of the personal genomics business – and its unanticipated impact on people's lives.
