Infertility impacts one in every six couples who are trying to conceive, according to the World Health Organization. “That number is staggering,” said Jenny Carillo, president of Ovia Health, who spoke in a recent From Day One webinar.

“We’re seeing the average age of people who are trying to initiate their family building efforts increasing,” she told moderator Lydia Dishman. “People are now trying to conceive in their 30s and 40s, when they’re becoming less fertile.”

A jury has handed up a verdict of $15 million against R.T. Vanderbilt Holding Company Inc. on behalf of the family of a man who died of mesothelioma following asbestos exposure.

Jurors also determined that the family of Nicholas Barone of Milford, Conn., who worked at a General Electric plastics facility in Pittsford, Mass., in the 1960s, is entitled to punitive damages. Therefore, the ultimate verdict amount could be higher.
