Description

According to the Department of Health and Human services, in 2021 over 70,000 babies in the U.S. were conceived using in vitro fertilization, or IVF. That’s over 2 percent, and in some European countries that figure is over 4 percent. And it’s rising rapidly all over the world. And that’s raising questions about the limits of using medical technology to produce children.



Today, WORLD reporter Leah Savas has the first of a two-part story about someone who crashed into those limits: medical, emotional, and spiritual. And walked away with a lot more than she bargained for.
