Spermcast

This week Molly ponders PGT-A, Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (the latest version of PGS). PGT-A helps doctors identify abnormal embryos before transferring them into the uterus to help avoid failed cycles, miscarriages, or having a child with severe health problems. Sounds great, right? But not all doctors are on board with it. What’s the deal?! Why?! Molly digs deep to get to the bottom of her own feelings about PGT-A with the help of doctors, listeners, strangers from the internet and friends of the podcast.Want to know what's happening with Molly's womb in real time while supporting this independent podcast?

Jude is a talented stand-up and even teaches stand-up comedy at USC and Holly is a fabulous improviser and in the cast of "Live From Here" on NPR, and unlike my other "childfree by choice" guests, neither Jude nor Holly has ever ever ever felt the urge to have kids...not even when they were little ones themselves. We dive into their youths to see where these preferences may have come from and we dig into how this has affected them in their adult lives. So serious!! But if you listen to the whole thing you'll also hear about double penetration!And of course, no episode would be complete without a depressing update from Molly. WHAT?! I'm not allowed to be in a bad mood sometimes? Jeez. Anyway, listen and enjoy!!Support this independent podcast at patreon.com/spermcastGot questions?
