Portugal is in the midst of a political debate about surrogacy laws, and Portugal's largest TV channel asked Dr. Michael Doyle, medical director of CT Fertility, to demonstrate what is involved and describe how the clinic help European parents.

The crew filmed an egg retrieval and the work of the clinic's embryologist as she fertilized the eggs. They also interviewed gay prospective parents and an egg donor.
