Donor Sibling Registry Talks to the ASRM

NPR interview with Wendy Kramer of the Donor Sibling Registry (DSR) and Sean Tipton of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM): http://www.npr.org/2011/11/21/142594613/fighting-over-rights-of-sperm-donor-babies

It's astounding that it is still easier for the ASRM to doubt, deny, negate, and question what has been happening on the DSR for so many years. I invite them to read through our website, read the research that we have published, read through the message board, look at the large numbers of sibling groups (or talk to sperm banks such as Fairfax Cryobank or Xytex), and pay some attention to the tens of thousands of donors, parents, and offspring on the DSR.

Some background: Sean Tipton, the spokesperson for the ASRM (quoted in a 2007 Science Progress article): “I don’t draw any conclusions from the Donor Sibling Registry. I don’t know if there is any counterpart organization for happy children of sperm donors.”
