Hosted by Bloomberg’s Jackie Davalos, IVF Disrupted: The Kindbody Story examines the fertility industry at a time when more people than ever are turning to reproductive technologies. The show builds on Davalos’ previous reporting on Kindbody and IVF’s risky business with new details, firsthand accounts, and behind-the-scenes insights.
Kindbody drew more than $300 million in investment and cultivated a sleek, millennial-friendly brand that won over celebrity backers. But behind the polished exterior, serious clinical problems emerged — there were instances of embryos being mislabeled, lost or accidentally destroyed. The company said these are not unique to Kindbody and that errors happen across the fertility industry.
