Did you know Israel is the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) capital of the world?
It is, and it doesn't have anything to do with the number of infertile Israeli people.
Infertility actually affects the same amount of people as the rest of the world, the difference is the treatment.
Unlike countries like the United States, where infertility treatments can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, IVF in Israel doesn't cost patients anything, which explains why so many choose to undergo IVF there.
Israel's unique policy allows a woman unlimited rounds of IVF until the age of 45, which is limited to two births. The government is also considering opening up this coverage to gay males, who want to use surrogacy to have a baby.
Once people hear of this, there is sure to be a storm of controversy with angry, broke and infertile people up in arms about the amounts they pay to start a family. There's no reason why people should spend their life savings on having a baby...at least that's what Israelis believe.
