U.S. fertility facilities must report how many embryos they create each cycle and what happens to the embryos that aren't implanted under new Texas legislation

As it stands right now, U.S. fertility facilities are not required to share how many embryos they are responsible for manufacturing, freezing, or discarding each year .
