Disturbing errors at Ontario fertility clinics causing concern

Guest: Morgan Sevareid-Bocknek, investigative reporter

Imagine you want a biological kid and you need the help of a fertility clinic. But then imagine they implant the wrong embryo inside of you. Or half the wrong embryo - right egg but wrong sperm. Or the child is a race you weren't expecting.

These scenarios and more have happened at Ontario fertility clinics, which remain under regulated. That means it’s a challenge to hold them to account when things like that happen and hard data for those trying to figure out which clinic to choose is hard to come by.

How could something so important, so medically invasive and psychologically delicate remain under regulated in Ontario? And though the government got close to closing gaps in regulation, it was never completed. Tune in to find out why.

PLUS: We speak with a lawyer who specializes in fertility negligence law who details some of the worst cases she's seen - and how the province might be able to forge a path forward.
