IVF and the Birds and the Bees - Dr. Kathy Discusses Where Test-tube Babies Come From, their Rights, and a New UK Law - Facing the Dark Ep. 43

Do preborn babies have rights? A new UK law is chipping away at reproductive standards for Invitro-fertilization for parents. It lays the groundwork for IVF kids to find their parents before they turn 18.  Some across the pond are nervous that this move will shake the rights of those babies not yet born, and could logically unsettle some of the ideas traditionally held about the rights of embryos frozen in test tubes nationwide. Dr. Kathy unpacks some conventional wisdom on these topics, and then closes by giving parents some insight on how to talk about the birds, the bees, and IVF treatments.
