Ep 1147 | Human Egg Farms, Switched Babies & the Dark Web of Big Fertility | Guest: Katy Faust
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Intro
This chapter explores alarming problems within the fertility industry, including a case where a woman gave birth to the wrong baby due to lack of regulation. It also discusses modern polygamy and children's rights, encouraging listeners to reflect on these critical social issues.
In today's episode, we're joined by Katy Faust, author and founder of the children's rights organization Them Before Us, for a compelling conversation about the world of IVF. We discuss Trump's recent executive order Expanding Access to In Vitro Fertilization, unpacking why it raises serious concerns for the well-being of children born through this technology. We talk about the evils of commercial surrogacy, and Katy sheds light on the deep, primal wound inflicted on infants when separated from the only mother they’ve ever known and placed in the arms of a stranger. We also explore a shocking case in Georgia, where a woman is suing an IVF clinic after giving birth to someone else’s child after the clinic implanted the wrong embryo. From overseas human egg farms to Elon Musk's many children, we examine the harms of the booming commercial fertility industry and its impact on families and children alike.
