There are 41 assisted reproduction clinics in the Czech Republic. They helped many couples to have the desired child. At the same time, it is appropriate to ask ethical questions sensitively. Where does interest in the health of the fetus end and does business without ethical rules begin? The topic of artificial insemination raises emotions as well as rationally justified concerns. Doctors, ethicists and sociologists talk about them in the documentary. Is it always primarily a biological need of the parents? Which goes hand in hand with interest in the health of the fetus and the mother? Isn't this a gamble with life and health, especially if the age of IVF embryo recipients is increasing worldwide? In addition, the clinics' annual turnover reaches billions - where is the line between medicine and business?
