New paper out with @cabr88 & Rafał Łukasiewicz on facial recognition and its potential impact on gamete donor conception



This event about a fascinating study should be of great interest to professionals and parents alike, as the topic touches so many lives.

New paper out now from the @connectedna team in @RBMOnline. We show the many ways commercial DNA testing (e.g. AncestryDNA, 23andme) is changing the landscape of donor conception. Nb. It's about more than donor anonymity. Open access at: doi.org/10.1016/j.rbmo…
