When safety meets family dreams, what happens when the unthinkable strikes?
Imagine walking into a place meant to bring hope and new life into the world — a fertility clinic. Now, imagine that same place becoming the target of violence. Sounds unthinkable, right? Yet, that's exactly what happened in California recently. A bomb attack on a fertility clinic rocked the community, and the gripping twist? The co-conspirator Daniel Park’s mysterious death in custody adds a layer of intrigue—and concern—about the safety net around family-building technologies and services.

Here’s the twist: The fertility landscape is shifting.

These kits, such as the CryoBaby for frozen sperm, Impregnator for low motility sperm, and BabyMaker for users with sensitivities, offer a discreet and empowering alternative to traditional clinical visits.
