This week, Debi and Sam host a solo episode to discuss some of the ethical concerns within the big money business of the fertility industry.
This is an episode you may want to preview before allowing young children to listen.
Debi and Sam discuss the dangers of egg harvesting. Many young women get ads luring them to sell their eggs. This is also a procedure that is required for both IVF and surrogacy. However, few are talking about the immediate and long-term consequences of this procedure and the fact that it often involves the exploitation of young women.
They also discuss some of the ethical concerns for both mother and child with both IVF and surrogacy. Just because we CAN do something, does not always mean we SHOULD. Research more with the following links.
