A continuing series about the
social implications of infertility and
the advanced reproductive techniques
designed to correct the condition.



Many women who decided to have a family late in life are now finding problems
conceiving. For some, finding egg donors has been the solution.
Infertility advocates say that the failure of insurance companies to cover
fertility procedures is discriminatory.
The British - faced with few options - are forced to reconsider how they
approach fertility treatment.
While becoming more commonplace, the once-controversial procedure of in vitro
fertilization still doesn't guarantee results.
It's now possible for gay male couples to have genetically related children
through in vitro fertilization and surrogacy.
Some HIV-infected couples are considering a direction in their lives once
thought impossible: having children.
Learn about the changing practice of surrogacy and meet two women who've carried
babies for other couples.
Discover a world where clinics compete fiercely for customers, doctors become
entrepreneurs, and patients are promised a baby or their money back.
Why do people go to such great lengths to produce a biological offspring? Meet
some who share their own experiences.
Explore how changes in cultural mores and advances in medical science have
influenced American attitudes about infertility since the colonial era.
