S5, episode 8: A Donor's Perspective with Dylan Stone-Miller

This week’s episode captures a perspective I’ve wanted to bring to the podcast for a very long time. I’m so honored that Dylan Stone-Miller, aka @donordylan, agree to chat with me about his experience as a donor at one of the largest sperm banks and how that decision led to where he is today - a biological father to 97 offspring and an advocate for better regulations in the industry. In this episode, we explore the emotional roller coaster Dylan faced upon discovering the extent of his biological legacy. We touch on the importance of therapy in dealing with such complexities and discuss the ethical considerations for both parents and donors. From the shocking lack of regulation in the donor gamete industry to Dylan’s determination to make the best of a difficult situation, this episode provides valuable insights for anyone considering donor conception or wanting to do their best to support a donor conceived child.
