I think many people would be surprised at how many couples have done IVF recently… I wish I had reliable numbers for it.

I was surprised at what the other clients looked like in our IVF clinic’s waiting room. I was expecting us to be the only youngish, fit couple. Instead they all looked like us other than one woman who was maybe 35 or so.

This seems scary to me. Imagine a world where children have to be conceived in this way: it would be trivial for some authoritarian governments to now control child birth. I don’t mean disincentivizing like China did but actual control.

Republican anti-abortion lobby groups are already planning this.

>Some conservatives are opposed to IVF because although its aim is to bring pregnancies to term, it also results in the destruction of some fertilized eggs.
Wait but what's the real reason they're against it?
