Summary

Today I welcome back Dr. Lauren Rubal, MD, Ob/Gyn, reproductive care physician, and former IVF doctor, to break down the practice of In Vitro Fertilization and why it is not the way we should treat infertility. We discuss the in-depth process of IVF, what harms IVF can bring to children as well as parents, the forgotten plight of the embryos who are not implanted, and the questionable developments of more reproductive technologies.
