Does fertility treatment have any side effects?
With fertility treatment becoming cheaper and more popular, couples are choosing IVF without thinking too much about it. After all, many people already know someone who got a child through artificial insemination and of course so many celebrities undergo in vitro fertilization that it makes as much news as their being arrested for DUI.
Since the fertility experts make tons of money in these procedures, their goal is to maximize number of pregnancies, even if they eventually end in miscarriages or deformed babies are born (for these they always blame the parents). Of course they also don't care what happens after a child is born.
Now experts are learning that kids born through IVF are more likely to have diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes and certain cancers. The reason is that when conception takes outside the body, the cells are exposed to way more oxygen than what they get inside the womb. This changes how many and which genes are turned on.
