Kathryn Blaze Baum on IVF, hope and the high costs of the fertility industry

Show by iHeartRadio
Trying to have a baby is deeply personal, but when you enter the world of fertility treatment, it can also become a complicated business – one involving enormous amounts of money, medical decisions, hope, and, sometimes, heartbreak. Our guest today knows that world from both sides. Kathryn Blaze Baum is an investigative reporter with the Globe and Mail, and her new book, Infertility: The Story of a Miracle and the Big Business Behind It, began with her own years-long struggle to have another child. What started as a very personal journey led Kathryn to start asking bigger questions about the fertility industry itself, like how it works, what patients are told, what it costs, and what happens when hope collides with a system that isn't as straightforward as it seems.
