And it was only through reading about them a little bit that I came to understand that this new ascendant technology that offers what they call polygenic analysis of embryos So, you know, different outlets promise to find different characteristics, but they're offering everything from screening that predicts an increase in IQ points, that screens for hereditary cancers, all of this stuff.

It's something that you can only use if you're going to go through IVF. And so after... paying for this embryo screening, which is a few thousand dollars, you're also choosing to go through in vitro fertilization, which is not only just a really difficult experience for many people, but extremely expensive and out of reach for most people.

And as I was reading one story about this, I was really struck by a woman who founded one of these companies who told one of her investors that instead of going through IVF herself, she should simply hire a surrogate and have her do it for her. And that to me really crystallized this idea of like a reproductive technology gap.

I think the thing that worries me the most about these technologies is, again, there seems to be so much interest and investment in understanding the what certain children will be like and trying to prevent children with certain differences and very little investment in the care for those children, research that could help these children and adults.

And so I really found myself on both sides of this divide where I had access to what was at the time, you know, some advanced prenatal testing, but was also able to see after my child's birth that, you know, who's being born into a world that is not innovating in the space of accommodating disabilities in the way that it is innovating in the space of trying to prevent them.

I think we are. I mean, I had this experience of during pregnancy habituating myself to some external authority watching my pregnancy. And then after my child was born, I became the authority who was watching him and surveilling him. And I think there's this way that surveillance can become confused with care and attention and love.

And I had this experience with my kids where I'd installed this fancy baby monitor that I was testing out for the book, and the video was uploaded to some cloud server so I could watch it from anywhere. I could watch them if they were taking a nap in their crib, but I was...

At the coffee shop down the street or whatever and somebody else was there with them and it could make it seem as if I were close to them because I would see my adorable children. and have this experience of being able to just watch them sleep peacefully, which is so different from the experience of dealing with them most of the time.
