Ellen Weir Casey is the mother of one of the world's first IVF babies. Her daughter is known as "Colorado’s First Test Tube Baby." Her award-winning memoir, Unstoppable: Forging The Path To Motherhood in The Early Days Of IVF, is the first person account of a patient in the earliest days of Assisted Reproductive Technology. Ellen is a passionate advocate for unrestricted access to women’s health care. She speaks nationally and internationally bringing attention to the importance of establishing permanent access to IVF.

Listen as Ellen C. shares with Ellen T. and Jenn:

• Being one of the first women in the world to have a baby by IVF!
• Going through seven major surgeries in two countries and three U.S. States before meeting her miracle baby. 
• Wanting just to hold her baby after all she’d been through, but believing it important to share her story and give others hope. 
• Facing the claims of ethical, religious, moral backlash head on. Going on national television repeatedly, talking to anyone who would listen so they could understand. 
• 40 years later, still fighting for people to understand IVF and its importance.
