Reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Dan Gehlbach, MD and clinical social worker Kris Probasco, LSCSW discuss the case of octuplet mother Nadya Suleman, who like many women and couples, could have put their embryos up for adoption to families who desperately want children but for one reason or another cannot conceive their own. Gelbach, Probasco, and Dr. John Lantos, MD from the Center for Practical Bioethics also discuss the practicalities and ethics of assisted reproductive choices – including genetic selection – and Missouri State Representative Dr. Robert Schaaf, a Republican and a St. Joseph physician discusses his proposed legislation that would limit the number of embryos transferred during IVF.
