Infertility is a condition that has an inherent cultural significance. In India, married couples with infertility face the brunt of speculations and certain demeaning identities are assigned to the women. Care-seeking options for infertility are deeply gendered. The availability of technologically advanced treatments for infertility provides “hope” to couples, especially women, to resolve the demeaning identities assigned to them, related to infertility. The paper focuses on the moral dilemma faced by a medically trained public health professional while collecting data from women in Kerala who were unable to continue the suggested biomedical treatment. Infertility treatment is an entropic cycle of success and failure; thus, the women studied moved from one stage to another hoping for a resolution to their problem. They were also undergoing alternative treatments that were unlikely to succeed. The paper discusses the moral dilemma of choosing between explaining the poor likelihood of success and leaving them with “hope”.
