HFEA consultations on donor conception

The HFEA is holding a couple of events related to donor conception - one for people who were conceived using donor sperm or eggs and their families, and one for those who are donors or who are considering becoming donors. Both events will be an opportunity to discuss issues surrounding donor conception.

The event for donors and prospective donors will be an evening workshop on 22 July in Hatton Garden, London between 5 and 7.30. Donors will be able to discuss the kind of guidance and information the HFEA could provide to support them. To register for this free event, see details on the HFEA website

The second event is for donor conceived people and their parents, and is also in Hatton Garden between 10.30 and 3.00 on Wednesday, 29 July 2009. This will be an opportunity to find out more about the changes to the information which donor-conceived people can request about their origins. The HFEA wants to hear their views about the support they need to access this information from the HFEA. Again, details can be found on the HFEA website
