Episode notes
IVF May Not Solve Low Birthrates
- Michael Knowles argues IVF promotion likely won't raise birthrates and may lower them due to low success rates and postponement effects.
- He warns IVF gives false security that delays in childbearing are harmless and is costly and inefficient.
Moral Risks Of IVF And Biotech
- Knowles and Allie Beth Stuckey emphasize moral objections to IVF: destruction/freezing of embryos and commodification of life.
- They assert many Americans haven't yet grasped these ethical harms but will as technologies like designer babies expand.
Prefer Cost Relief Over Coverage Mandates
- Consider practical trade-offs before embracing IVF policies and avoid insurance mandates that force coverage.
- Prefer lowering costs modestly over mandates to minimize moral and fiscal harms.
