What if the baby you gave birth to belonged to someone else?Grace and Dan are in their forties and have been on the IVF treadmill since the day they got married. Priya and her husband Nick are being treated at the same fertility clinic, and while they don't face the same pressure as the Ardens, the younger couple have their own problems.A year on, one of the women learns her embryo was implanted in the other's uterus and must make a devastating choice: live a childless life knowing her son is being raised by strangers or seek custody of a baby who has been nurtured and loved by another couple.Emma Harvey chatted to journalist and writer of 'The Mothers' Genevieve Gannon about the real cases of IVF mixup that inspired her book, and how Australia's IVF policy stacks up with the rest of the world.
