Understanding Egg Donation: The Give and Take

This episode of the Progress Educational Trust (PET) podcast discusses the needs and interests of everyone involved in egg donation – including donors, recipients, donor-conceived people, fertility professionals, regulators and policymakers.

The discussion is chaired by Sarah Norcross (Director of PET), with contributions from:

⚫ Dr Jane Stewart (previously Head of the Newcastle Fertility Centre and Chair of the British Fertility Society)

⚫ Professor Nicky Hudson (Professor of Medical Sociology at Loughborough University)

⚫ Angela Pericleous-Smith (Chair of the British Infertility Counselling Association)

⚫ Sophie Cook (donor-conceived person, conceived with an egg from an anonymous donor)

⚫ Professor Mark Hanson (Emeritus Professor of Human Development and Health at the University of Southampton)

Topics discussed in this podcast include a Parliamentary inquiry into egg donation and egg freezing, launched by the Women and Equalities Committee of the UK's House of Commons.

PET is grateful to London Egg Bank for supporting this discussion.

PET is also grateful to Jon Nicoll, who created the opening and closing music for its podcast.
