The Dark Side of IVF, Egg Donation and Surrogacy – Jennifer Lahl | Wisdom Rebellion #008

Are we sacrificing women's health for fertility profits?

In this interview we discuss the unsettling truths of the fertility industry with Jennifer Lahl, a fearless advocate and filmmaker, who exposes the dark side of egg donation, IVF and surrogacy in this revealing interview.

Jennifer Lahl, a founder and president of The Center for Bioethics and Culture Network, confronts the grave health risks and ethical dilemmas women face in the fertility industry, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and links to reproductive cancers. This conversation sheds light on the coercive financial incentives that compromise informed consent, the lack of industry oversight, and the pressing need for restorative reproductive medicine over dependency on IVF technologies.

Discover the harsh realities behind IVF and assisted reproductive technologies, such as increased cancer risks, high-risk pregnancies, and profound health complications in children, as well as the exploitation inherent in surrogacy agreements.

Join us as Jennifer challenges the unchecked pursuit of technological advancements at the expense of human well-being.
