INCONCEIVABLE STORIES
One of the casualties of this season’s American TV is Inconceivable, an NBC series about life in a fertility clinic. It ran only long enough for the critics to give it a big raspberry. This was a pity, because the dramas initiated in IVF clinics have enough permutations to keep a soap opera in business for years. Perhaps viewers had already seen enough in real life. Here are a few developments which surfaced recently:
- How long can you put off seeing the doctor because of lockdowns? - December 3, 2021
- House of Lords debates assisted suicide—again - October 28, 2021
- Spanish government tries to restrict conscientious objection - October 28, 2021
