In this episode, Anoushka, Anita, and Isabella chat with Dr. Brindha Bavan, a Clinical Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Stanford School of Medicine; she discusses a litany of ethical, legal, and social issues in her field of REI, or reproductive endocrinology and infertility. We address important questions in embryo selection like: Which traits are permissible to select for? How do technological innovations in reproductive medicine impact equity and accessibility in our healthcare system? Additionally, as we navigate a post-Dobbs world, how do physicians navigate the ambiguity of the law?
