This hour: IVF -- in vitro fertilization -- has brought the miracle of life to women and families across the U.S.
Those who have undergone the procedure, however, know it does not come without a cost.
Coming up, we weigh the physical, financial, and emotional demands of IVF treatment.
We hear from doctors and patients.
We also consider a recent New York magazine article about PGS -- the test used to identify viable embryos. How accurate is it? We take a closer look.
But first: on the ground in Puerto Rico. We get the latest on the island’s efforts to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Maria.
