Ep 554 | IVF, Embryo Adoption, & Surrogacy: Answering the Hard Questions | Guest: Jennifer Lahl
Today we welcome our friend Jennifer Lahl back to the show by popular demand. Jennifer is the founder and president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture, and as you may know, has dedicated herself to raising awareness about the ethical problems and potential dangers of 'big fertility' and the surrogacy industry. Last time, we talked about the corruption surrounding this industry, and today we're going into the ethics and philosophy behind IVF, frozen embryos, and surrogacy. As science progresses, more and more aspects of childbearing can be replicated artificially, which raises serious concerns about how we view women, family, and life itself. Unfortunately, there is major financial incentive to keep the myth of surrogacy going, as companies stand to make huge profits, and the women they deceive are convinced they're doing something morally right.
