Inconceivable

Angie Harmon and the cast has done a great job. The writers have obviously done their research. Very timely, as the black - white twin boys from an infertility clinic are in the news too. People wanting a baby need to visualize and understand the risks and rewards involved. As do the surrogates, both male and female. I have suffered infertility and I appreciate this show. NBC also aired ER where the couple declined to take their baby home because he wasn't perfect. Look in medical journals, it happens. Adoption agencies screens and counsels would-be parents, but still in 2005 - infertility clinics do not. They just ask for the check, and in socialized countries, not even that.The show is honest about this. There is life and death decisions daily at infertility clinics and NBC is wisely tapping into this high drama.

As a person who is still in the throes of infertility, this show smacks of every misconception (pardon the pun) that exists about infertility. There have already been several story lines about irresponsible surrogates, and frankly, surrogates already get enough crap dumped on them; what they are doing is a wonderful gift for an infertile couple, and very rarely do these crazy situations arise such as those recently aired on Inconceivable and ER. But hey - it's all about drama, right? And ratings? Then by all means, perpetuate the myth.

In reference to another commenter, who said "People wanting a baby need to visualize and understand the risks and rewards involved. As do the surrogates, both male and female". First, there are no male surrogates. Perhaps you mean sperm donors? You clearly have not suffered infertility, especially if you can actually say "adoption agencies screens and counsels would-be parents, but still in 2005 - infertility clinics do not. They just ask for the check, and in socialized countries, not even that." Are you suggesting that just because a person has a medical problem preventing pregnancy, that they should be required to go through screening in order to be a parent? As opposed to the crack mothers, who as far as I know, aren't required to fill out so much as one paper in order to get pregnant? Wow, you must live in a red state.

This show is a slap in the face to people who deal with infertility, and it only furthers the myths and lies that surround those of us who struggle for the simple joy of becoming a parent. I am glad to see this trash being taken off the air.

: This show shows the changes in infertility... and gives hopeless couples a chance to have hope. I was one of those patients about 35 years ago. I just wanted to get pregnant at all cost. I found this show interesting and heart warming... Yes, they have taken some parts and made them unscrupulous. Gotta keep up with the market if you want to get watched. I think they did this to trying to keep up with today's way of thinking. Let's face it that is the way life is now. People will stop at nothing to get what they want. For anyone, man or woman who has ever wanted a baby more that anything in life... this show makes sense...

I agree that there is some material in it that I am not certain to it's validly. Do they really do this? ... But even when taking that into consideration --- I do not care... It is interesting. And I will watch it for as long as it is on.... In case, you are wondering, my husband also agrees with me. No, we did not like the fact that a couple got a black baby when the labels were changed... but we are living in a time where people do this sort of thing, out of pure spite or jealously... I am surprised that Angie Harmon took the part paying some one who plays God... Decided what eggs need to get a boost for those in the bank and which do not....

All in all, we love this show and will watch it every week...

I love it. The second episode just ended, and I think it's a very interesting show. I enjoy seeing controversial issues addressed on TV and I think this show addresses both sides of the coin. Also, to those who criticized people who get infertility treatments in earlier posts, you have a lot of nerve. I have never been through this, but I have family and friends who have experienced trouble getting pregnant. If you have children of your own, you should understand the wonderful feeling of carrying and giving birth to your own child. Please do not berate those who desire to have the same joy. Learn to be empathetic and not judgmental.

I cannot realise how hard a show like this may be for some people, but i have a solution.

Make it a "Straight-to-DVD" release, so then the people who are interested in this show can buy the DVD (i would) and then the people who don't want to see it, don't buy it, it's that simple, also the makers of this show (who have probably lost a lot of money) can regain some of there losses.

EVERYBODY WINS! I hope this will happen, it would be a shame for something to be made and not get to be shown in full, i mean when TV shows are cancelled i near-enough mourn them (sorry for the spelling) i was heart broken when i found out that Off Centre was cancelled, it was great, as well as Futurama, why was that cancelled, its better than the Simpson's yet it was cancelled on season 4, but the Simpson's are on season 17 and running out of steam.

So if a show is cancelled for reasons such as the ones for Inconceivable, then they should put it straight to DVD, where everyone is happy.
