The Assignment Presents: Chasing Life on IVF
from Engagement Party Hosted by CNN Podcasts
We're taking a short break on The Assignment, and we want to bring you an episode of Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s excellent CNN podcast Chasing Life. It's a special episode he put together about IVF after the Supreme Court of Alabama declared embryos as children, potentially subjecting those who discard frozen embryos to wrongful death charges. This decision raises questions about the implications for fertility doctors and patients in the state, as well as potential ramifications on a national scale. Dr. Gupta interviews IVF expert Dr. Eve Feinberg from the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. Dr. Feinberg elaborates on the handling of embryos during the IVF process and discusses the controversial nature of the ruling for fertility care providers. Additionally, CNN Correspondent Isabel Rosales shares insights into the reactions of families and fertility clinics in Alabama.
