Japan is a country struggling with low birthrates and an aging population. In a society where work ethics and personal privacy is highly valued the question of fertility isn’t necessarily at the center of the conversation. Dr Ishikawa shows us around Reproduction clinic Tokyo, and we have a conversation with two Japanese women about their personal choices regarding building a family.

In this episode:

Emma Karling - midwife and showhost

Carolina Tristen - fertility doctor
