Send us a text In this episode of the Australian Family & Fertility Law Podcast, Stephen Page tackles two shocking developments involving Monash IVF: 1️⃣ A heartbreaking embryo mix-up where one couple’s embryo was mistakenly implanted in another woman — only discovered after the child was born. Stephen discusses the legal, ethical, and emotional fallout, and why protecting the child"s privacy is paramount. 2️⃣ A sudden halt to treatments using international donor sperm due to new legislation in Queensland — requiring donor contact details that many clinics simply don’t have. Without a transitional clause, many hopeful families have been left in limbo. Stephen cuts through the confusion, explains the implications of Queensland’s Assisted Reproductive Technology Act, and calls for urgent reform to protect families. 🎙️ A must-listen for anyone navigating IVF, donor conception, or interested in the intersection of law, ethics, and family.
