episode notes
Fertility doctors and patients trying to conceive through in vitro fertilization (IVF) were halted this week after the Alabama Supreme Court declared that unborn children have the same rights as humans. The ruling raises questions about whether doctors can sue for performing standard IVF procedures, and experts fear the ruling could affect IVF practices across the country. .
Guest: Dr. Elizabeth Constance, a reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist in Omaha, Nebraska.
