Colorado recently became the first state in the country to ban anonymous sperm and egg donation.
In a bill signed by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, lawmakers also limited the number of families a donor’s cells can be used for.
It has long been a largely unregulated industry, but now, activists have united in groups like We Are Donor Conceived and are advocating for more legislation like this.
Sara Luterman covered it for the 19th; The Show spoke with her to learn about the changes.
