The Secret Society shines light on the complex world of assisted reproduction in Canada: the couples desperately searching for human eggs to fertilize with sperm, the women willing to donate their eggs, and professionals who support both. Complicating the already stressful and stigmatized world of infertility, Canadian law criminalizes payment for donated eggs. These laws perpetuate the secrecy surrounding egg donation and create a bizarrely complex world of assisted reproduction.
This community screening and panel discussion will create an opportunity to speak about the legal, ethical, and personal aspects of assisted reproduction, with insights from local experts.
