From the New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams, and this is The Daily.
In recent years, more and more Americans have been turning to IVF to have children,
which means more and more embryos are being stored in fertility clinics all over the country.
And that has made one question increasingly urgent.
What should happen to those embryos if a couple breaks up?
In much of the country, the legal system has no clear answer to that question.
Nor does it have clear rules for weighing one person's desire to become a parent against another person's desire not to.
Today, my colleague Caroline Kitchener tells us the story of one couple
that found themselves caught in this exact limbo.
Thursday, September 10. Caroline, you recently chronicled this really heart-wrenching fight over embryos
that this one couple had made when they were still together.
And the fight and how it unfolded touched on all kinds of issues
that really felt very much of our time, like modern fertility treatments, the question of when life begins,
the shape of what a family looks like in our day and age.
So tell us how all of that fits into what you cover and how you came to this story.
