When ancient Jewish law meets modern fertility medicine, who decides what is possible? In this final episode of Embracing Motherhood, SBS explores IVF, donor conception, genetic testing and surrogacy through a Jewish lens. Australian Jewish Fertility Network CEO Justine Saidman reveals how one woman’s grassroots effort to help a couple afford IVF grew into a national support network which challenged the stigma and helped families navigate the complex intersection of faith, fertility and Australian law. At its heart is a question of what it means to build a family when biology, belief and the law collide.
