#7 IVF | FYI: The IVF Victims Of Fertility Fraud, Mistakes, and Accidents with Katy Faust

from IVF | FYI: What Happens If IVF Becomes a Right? · host Them Before Us

What happens when the fertility industry puts profits over people? In this eye-opening episode, Katy Faust joins Patience and Jenn to expose the fraud, negligence, and ethical violations rampant in the world of reproductive technologies. From fertility doctors secretly using their own sperm to father dozens of children to IVF clinics implanting the wrong embryos, losing frozen children, and using toxic solutions, this episode uncovers the shocking lack of oversight in an industry that plays with human life. We explore real-life horror stories, including the infamous case of Dr. Donald Cline, who fathered at least 94 children, and recent embryo mix-ups that devastated families.But most importantly, we ask the hard questions: Are these just isolated mistakes, or is the system itself broken? Should we be making babies in laboratories at all? What about the rights of the children created through these procedures?Join us as we shed light on the dark underbelly of the fertility industry, challenge the assumptions surrounding IVF, and advocate for a world that puts children’s rights before adult desires.https://www.usdcc.org/2024/02/14/a-donor-conception-nightmare-fertility-fraud-leads-to-accidental-incest/https://abcnews.go.com/Health/inside-ivf-mix-ups-left-women-carrying-embryos/story?id=119429927https://abcnews.go.com/US/9-couples-sue-ivf-clinic-alleging-staff-implanted/story?id=109491391 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-13/kindbody-fertility-clinic-embryo-errors-spotlight-ivf-business-riskshttps://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/ivf-patients-struggle-to-find-legal-recourse-for-lost-embryosLearn more about our mission at thembeforeus.com.Join us in protecting children’s rights by giving at thembeforeus.com/donate.
