Part 6/8:
Christina’s case shines a light on a broader systemic issue within the fertility industry. Advocates argue that there is a pressing need for greater regulation, as many fertility clinics operate in a largely unregulated environment. The lack of reporting requirements and standardized inspections raises concerns about patient safety and accountability.
According to Christina’s lawyer, her situation exemplifies potential mishaps that may occur in fertility clinics, suggesting these incidents could be more frequent than public awareness indicates. He proposed that all IVF procedures should include rigorous genetic testing to mitigate the risk of such devastating mix-ups in the future.
