One day during lunch with her mother, award winning ABC journalist Sarah Dingle’s life was turned upside down. 

Dingle learned that her dad, the man that had raised her, wasn’t her biological father. Instead, her existence was down to an anonymous sperm donor donation back in the 1980s. 

The discovery set off a decade long investigation for Dingle, not only to look into her own existence and find her biological father, but into the grim reality surrounding the fertility business. 

She has detailed her story and her search in a new book, Brave New Humans. She joined Francesca Rudkin to discuss what her reaction was she learnt the truth of her parentage, what impact that's had on her relationships, and what she learnt about the industry.
