Sperm meets egg makes baby, should be simple right? Well if it were, infertility would not be a common struggle for millions of people around the world. But through incredible technology and research, assisted reproductive techniques have been created like in-vitro fertilization (IVF) have been created to help people get pregnant. And they work! Join us this episode as we explain the basics of the science of IVF, dive into the history (with a sprinkle of funny stories of course) and end with a discussion about modern implications. It’s an EGG-cellent episode! Ok I’ll see myself out now…

• What role does the medicalization of reproduction play in the IVF industry? 
• Are women's bodies being treated as vessels in the pursuit of reproductive success, and if so, how can this be mitigated?
