Fertility struggles can be devastating for many American families. The CDC estimates that 19 percent of married women aged 15 to 49 with no prior births cannot get pregnant after one year of trying. Moreover, talking about fertility struggles and solutions is not like talking about taxes or free trade; this is a deeply personal and often emotionally charged conversation, as family concerns ought to be.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) creates a new human being, or as is the usual practice in the United States, many new human beings. Contrary to popular belief, IVF is not creating the components for human life, but human life itself. Life begins at the moment of fertilization, also known as sperm-egg fusion. And that is the very process that IVF completes outside the womb.
