On May 23rd, Social Media Director Kelly Best and Sperm Donor Resources Director Dylan Stone-Miller presented a lunch talk on the ethical and legal implications of donor conception to students at Stanford Law School. We have spoken to students at Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University. These presentations are part of the USDCC College Campus Initiative. Through this initiative, you can invite USDCC to visit with your class or student group. Volunteers are available to meet virtually (and in-person, when feasible), and will bring a presentation for your group. The presentation can be tailored for your group’s needs and is customizable by interest (bioethics, law, science, or a combination) and time allotted.
