Infertility
The Story of a Miracle and the Big Business Behind It
Book •
Catherine Blaisbaum combines investigative reporting with her own experiences to examine modern fertility treatments, the business behind IVF and surrogacy, and the emotional toll on patients.
The book traces her multi-year struggle through miscarriages, multiple IVF cycles, surgeries, and ultimately surrogacy, using her story to explore gaps in regulation, transparency, and access in Canada.
She interviews patients, clinicians and industry insiders to illuminate how add-on treatments, agency practices and funding models affect outcomes and costs.
