  • Colorado HB25-1259: A Plain English Explanation of Its Harm

  • I’m a (Donor Conceived) Barbie girl, in a (Donor Conceived) Barbie world.

    Commodification of donor conceived people is rampant in egg donor recruitment ads. One agency's Barbie movie memes sparked outcry from the DCP community.
