A Canadian fertility clinic is under fire for its policy of not allowing patients to use sperm, eggs or embryos from a donor of a different ethnicity—except that the clinic says it abandoned that policy more than a year ago.
Last week, the Calgary Herald published a story in which a single white woman, Catherine, said she was told at the Regional Fertility Program in Calgary that she could not choose a nonwhite sperm donor. Dr. Calvin Greene, the clinic’s Administrative Director, said that the policy has been in place since the clinic opened in the 1980s.
