Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The way fertility medicine is practiced today routinely generates stories like these. Reproductive technologies create a lot of expanded families, and we never want to discount the blessing that can be. However, we long for a new era in which technological successes will be unadulterated blessings because the technology will be offered and used only when it is necessary. #2 The risks and side effects of IVF are significant, and the procedures are often misused and overprescribed. They can be miracle makers, but they must be used wisely to be used well. #3 There are many other ways to get pregnant other than through ART. Before you choose to go down that road, however, be aware that there are many other ways through the forest that are easier, safer, quicker, and cheaper. #4 The fertility industry is to blame for the fact that so many people are infertile. People treat IVF as a lifestyle choice or a modern convenience, without considering the risks.
