Ep 1171 | Egg Donation Centers Are Exploiting College Girls & Military Wives | Guest: Kallie Fell

Today, we sit down with Kallie Fell, the executive director of the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network, to talk about bioethics (or lack thereof) in the assisted reproduction industry. We talk about everything from the lack of long-term health tracking for surrogate mothers and egg sellers to the predatory, exploitative marketing that encourages and exploits these women into selling their DNA and bodies. Kallie tells us about the lack of research into the health effects of IVF and surrogacy and how the little research we have doesn't exactly paint the fertility industry in a positive light. We also discuss some other countries that have banned surrogacy to varying degrees and how we would like to see the United States follow suit in order to protect moms and babies.
