CT Fertility was featured in another TV story on Portuguese channel TVI24 demystifying the existing taboo in Portugal surrounding gestational surrogacy. The clip is mostly in English (after a few seconds at the beginning). The crew filmed an egg retrieval and the work of the clinic's embryologist as she fertilized the eggs. They interviewed Dr. Doyle, gay prospective parents and an egg donor.
