Ancestry and 23andMe: How DNA-testing is changing the world

Описание к видео Ancestry and 23andMe: How DNA-testing is changing the world

Often people use at-home DNA testing to trace their family history and work out the breakdown of their ethnic heritage.

But what if you found out something that turned your life upside down? For some users involved in the donor-conception process, this is their reality.

Maybe you didn’t know you weren’t born from your Dad’s sperm? Or that your Mum donated her eggs? Or maybe you donated yourself, hoping never to be contacted.

The News Movement’s Charlotte Minter spoke to two young people born from donor eggs and/or donor sperm, using genealogy kits to try and connect with relatives and find out more about who they are.

Genealogy sites like Ancestry and 23andMe are allowing users to make connections with family members they never thought possible to contact.
