The inability to conceive a baby and the pain thereafter is one thing. Suffering from the additional pain while going through the IVF process must be quite another. That’s what I felt when I read this: The Age of Mechanical Reproduction, an essay where Paul Ford not only explains the process of IVF (minus the technical jargon) but also captures the agony of the couple that goes through it. Thank you, Paul Ford, for writing this.
