PRESENTING THE CHALLENGE: TRACKING LIFE WITH IVF Mission with Audie Cornish March 21, 2024
We'd like to take a short break from “The Assignment” and bring you an episode of Dr. Sanjay Gupta's excellent CNN podcast “Chasing Life.” This is a special episode he put together about in vitro fertilization after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos are considered children, potentially subjecting those who discard frozen embryos to unjustified death sentences. The decision raises questions not only about the impact on infertility doctors and patients in the state, but also about the potential impact on a national scale. Dr. Gupta interviews Dr. Eve Feinberg, an in vitro fertilization expert at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Feinberg details the handling of embryos during the IVF process and explains the controversial nature of this ruling for fertility providers. Additionally, CNN correspondent Isabel Rosales shares insight into the response of Alabama families and fertility clinics. Learn more about ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
