It's a multibillion dollar global industry creating ‘miracle babies’.

One in every 18 births in Australia is now a result of IVF.

But when things go wrong, who is holding these fertility clinics to account?

Four Corners reporter Grace Tobin investigates incidents of the wrong sperm being used to conceive children, a serial donor with potentially 700 offspring, and a lab contamination that destroyed precious embryos.

She meets the women and their partners fighting back against Virtus Health, Monash IVF and Genea, to get access to their own medical information and going to whatever lengths it takes to force clinics to put patients before profits.

This episode was originally broadcast as ‘When IVF goes wrong’ on 24 June 2024 on ABC TV and ABC iview.
