In Fertility
The Story of a Miracle and the Big Business Behind It
Book •
Kathryn Blaze Baum combines memoir and investigative reporting to illuminate the medical, emotional, and commercial realities of modern fertility care.
Drawing on her own multi-year struggle—including miscarriages, IVF cycles, surgeries, and surrogacy—she interrogates how the fertility industry operates in Canada and globally.
The book examines gaps in regulation, the rise of costly add-on treatments, and inequities in access to services.
Baum also offers practical insights for people navigating fertility options and calls for better oversight, funding, and patient education.
Through vivid personal narrative and reporting, the book exposes both the profound hope fertility medicine offers and the harms of an increasingly commercialized sector.
