3 Reasons Why IVF is Problematic

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) accounts for 2 percent of births in the United States, and that percentage is expected to grow. In the U.S., it’s a largely unregulated, multi-billion dollar industry which more and more families are utilizing to form their families.

But there are ethical questions that can’t be ignored, which Liberty explores in this episode, including…

• Is it ok that the vast majority of living embryos created through IVF will never be implanted?
  
  
• Are vulnerable, grieving couples being taken advantage financially, without giving informed consent of the whole process?
  
  
• How is the prevalence of IVF giving rise to 21st century eugenics?

Listen and decide whether you agree that the IVF process as it currently exists is unethical, and comment with your thoughts.
