Dr Leah Gilman of Sheffield University is a sociologist working at the intersection of the sociology of personal life, reproduction and digital sociology. She has spent over a decade researching donor conception and exploring how people negotiate family and reproductive relationships in the context of social, legal and technological change. She has contributed to several journals and articles and even written a book along the way, today she is here to share a bit of insight into her current project. Predominantly the majority of Leah's focus is the UK, however, in this episode, we explore and chat about the differences in the law between the UK and Australia, and why the UK's current laws might be more of a hindrance than actually achieving anything beneficial. We chat about the British media and the clinic's current attitudes towards online donation. We analyse the different types of donor clinics, online and those that do both.
