Exploring Quebec's new fertility frontier after Bill 20

Since Quebec Health Minister Gatan Barrette's controversial Bill 20 passed in November 2015, the province'sfertility programs have become less available to couples seeking help conceiving children.

A new documentary on the subject explores the impact of the legislation, following journalist and lawyer Erin Ashley Singer as she begins the process of freezing her own eggs.

In the documentary,Singer examines the challenges others face as they receivein vitro fertilization (IVF)treatments amid Quebec's shifting fertilitypolices.

Along the way, we meet a 42-year-old woman navigating the changes while struggling to conceive; a gay couple worried the cost of IVF might now exclude them from motherhood; and a couple concerned with the fate of their frozen embryos.

Singer revealshowhopeful parents grapple with the emotional highs and lows of the IVF process. At the same time,she examinesQuebecers' values and ideology around family planning.

In Vitro: Quebec's New Fertility Frontier airs Saturday, September 3rd at 7 p.m. as part of the Absolutely Quebecseries.
