The Donor: A DNA Horror Story Intro

Monday, August 5, 2024 • Duration 01:50

In the mid-1980s, Hal worked his way through medical school as an anonymous sperm donor. Thirty years later, Hal was one of 23AndMe’s first customers, curious about his health genes. He had no idea that he’d just destroyed his donor anonymity. Suddenly, seven total strangers found “Daddy.” Except six of them had no idea that their actual biological father was a sperm donor. And the seventh? She knew. And she’d been looking for him. The Donor: A DNA Horror story follows an unexpected ripple effect of the personal genomics business – and its unanticipated impact on people’s lives.

Threatened by Miles’ angry dad, Hal tries to diffuse the situation. Meanwhile, a second donor son joins 23AndMe. Hal learns quickly – most of his donor kids have no idea whatsoever they’re donor kids. They have all been their family secret.

As Hal tries to diffuse the situation with Miles’ dad, he meets a second donor son (Sonny) and a donor daughter: BEKA. Unlike her donor siblings (her diblings), Beka knew she was donor-conceived before joining 23AndMe. Also, unlike her diblings, she was actually looking for Hal.

Almost from the jump, Hal is drawn to Beka.
