Since the sexual revolution and the introduction of no-fault divorce in 1969, the institution of marriage in America has undergone a profound transformation.
Katy Faust, founder of children’s rights organization Them Before Us and co-author of a book by the same name, argues that marriage has changed from a permanent, child-centered union, to a vehicle for adult fulfillment.
And now new reproductive technologies—from IVF to surrogacy—are making parenthood possible in ways never seen before.
For many, this is progress. But at what cost?
Faust argues that for decades, we have prioritized adult desire over a child’s fundamental right to be known, loved, and raised by their biological mother and father.
In this episode, she walks me through many complex questions: what makes something a natural right? What is the true impact of divorce on children? Why isn’t surrogacy just a neutral transaction? And for countries facing shrinking birth rates, why is IVF perhaps not the right solution?

I highly recommend it.
Timely for the world we live.
... Also, she's firm and strong in what she has discovered about the harm being done to children, but she's also humble when it comes to her own struggles, deficiencies and weaknesses. What a wonderful human!
