An I.V.F. Mix-Up, a Shocking Discovery and an Unbearable Choice Two couples in California discovered they were raising each other’s genetic children. Should they switch their girls?

I'm a big ham, and I love having the opportunity to read my own magazine pieces for the audio version. But when Julia Whelan does the reading instead, I BOW DOWN--thank you, Julia, for your pitch-perfect narrating of this IVF mix-up story in the @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/m...

This story--about two families whose embryos were switched in an IVF mix-up--was a privilege to report and write for the @nytimes.com . Their grace and generosity in the face of an impossible situation moves me to no end: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/m...
