As a journalist at the Wall Street Journal who writes frequently about how reproductive technologies such as IVF are changing the way people build their families, Amy will talk about how these topics look from her vantage point. She will discuss what she has learned about families formed in alternative ways, what trends she sees, and what things the general public might be surprised by or not aware of in this realm. Amy will take questions in the Q&A portion of the event, and her professional boundaries as a journalist will be respected.
