It’s hard to get someone to understand that PGT-A does not improve live birth rates when their salary depends on selling it as a miracle solution. The resistance to question it comes from a business model built on complexity and the illusion of genetic control.

Are fertility clinic networks overvalued? From an economic standpoint, many are: Acquired at sky-high multiples (EBITDA x15+); Heavy reliance on fertility tourism & aggressive marketing; Real margin per cycle is low (human + tech intensive); Scaling often means losing clinical quality

LLMs can boost diagnostic accuracy, but only if you think critically. A trial just showed that language model can improve diagnostic reasoning in med trainees.
Conclusion? They’re not a crutch. They’re a catalyst.
Used well, they elevate. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39466245/

The more PGT-A a clinic uses, the worse their live birth rates.
And the most harmed? A massive CDC-based study just confirmed what many suspected: PGT-A is overused, underperforming, and driven by profit. Clinics owned by venture capital use it the most.

What if Trump isn’t improvising at all?
Varoufakis lays it out:

Just because a patient wants everything, doesn’t mean we should offer everything.

IVF is not a vending machine.

Trump’s new tariffs and the hidden threat to reproductive medicine
The latest wave of U.S. tariffs could quietly disrupt fertility clinics and IVF labs worldwide. The reproductive field is tech-driven and globally interconnected. When trade becomes political, patients pay the price

“One-size-fits-all” medicine is obsolete. Precision medicine isn’t the future. It’s the new baseline. Genomics, phenotypes, algorithms, real-time data: this isn’t optional anymore, it’s clinical responsibility.

Functional Medicine: science-based care or wellness cosplay? Let’s be honest: too often it’s expensive guesswork wrapped in holistic branding. Yes, traditional medicine can be cold, rushed, and fragmented. But the answer isn’t replacing it with glossy pseudoscience.
