Listen Later

This month's show focuses on assisted reproduction, and the legal and psychological implications. Ben and Heather talk to Miranda Montrone, a Sydney based psychologist who specialises in counselling in infertility and assisted reproduction.

Miranda Montrone is a practicing psychologist with over 30 years experience counselling in infertility, IVF and surrogacy. She is considered the pre-eminent expert in this field. As well as her ongoing counselling work with clients, Miranda has written a number of papers on IVF and surrogacy, presented at conferences for both health professionals and family lawyers, and provided advice to Parliament when they were drafting the 2010 NSW Surrogacy Act.
