Groundbreaking New Book Removes the Shroud of Secrecy Surrounding Donor Insemination
Detroit (PRWEB) October 18, 2007 -- Sperm Donor Offspring: Identity and Other Experiences by Lynne W. Spencer is a qualitative study of eight individuals conceived from the sperm of a donor and how being a sperm donor offspring affected their life experience and identity.
In Sperm Donor Offspring, Spencer describes the emotions she encountered in her own life and while conducting interviews with other sperm donor offspring. Throughout the research process, Spencer discovered several common themes, including family secrecy, identity confusion, not fitting in, and a need for ancestral connection. Drawing from and including quotes taken from interviews, Spencer explains each theme and offers resources for support.
Today, donor insemination is commonly accepted as a treatment for infertility; however, there is often little thought given to the children who will be conceived and the impact the experience will have on them later in life. For that reason, it is important to hear what actual sperm donor offspring have experienced in order to evaluate how the practice of sperm, egg, and embryo donations should be handled in the future. The knowledge gained in this book is relevant for the future practice, legislation, and regulation of infertility treatments as well as in determining what information should be shared with offspring.
Informative and educational, Sperm Donor Offspring: Identity and Other Experiences is a must read for anyone considering donor insemination.

Joseph A. Santiago's New Book 'World Voice: Beginnings' is Released
World Voice: Beginnings began as an independent Thanatology study in China. Joseph A Santiago said "By creating the book World Voice: Beginnings I have created a setting where the reader will be inspired to reflect on all that bonds the various peoples of the world. Too often, people today are depicted simply as economic trends and statistics. People are far more complex than numbers, one must be willing to walk in another's shoes and see the world through their eyes. You do this by exchanging stories, and getting to know what truly matters to someone. My goal in creating World Voice: Beginnings is to create a comfortable and compelling space where communication and commonality will bring individuals together as one people."
