S2 Ep101: In Vitro Fertilization

With the recent ruling in Alabama that is impacting In Vitro Fertilization treatments, Ash is teaching us what the treatment process is, who would benefit from the treatments, the mental/physical/emotional/and monetary tolls the process takes, and what the Alabama ruling means for patients and medical providers.

Om Podcasten

Hey! We are Ash and Katy, this is our podcast, Always the Last to Know! Growing up we were taught how to live in the world, everything was going fine…until literally, the entire world changed, thus making everything we had learned essentially obsolete. Needless to say, Mr. Feeny and Cory Matthews did not prepare us for social media takeovers, taxes, or making our way through an insane world where an entire generation is trauma bonded. It feels like we missed entire lessons on things so the goal is to fill in the gaps of our education- from discussions on current laws to clones, from N.A.T.O to what's hidden under melting glaciers, join us while we attempt to navigate our way through the world, figure out adulthood, and hopefully learn something new along the way!
