Shame on you, the proper term is transfer, not implant. I expect more from you.

“Are such agreements enforceable? Likely not,”

Definitely not. You can contract about money and certain liability issues, but an agreement to submit to selective reduction is not enforceable.

correct me if I’m wrong. But the $12,000 is likely the cost of the egg retrieval + implantation and not necessarliy the implantation.

If you have the frozen embryos, it is far less costly to implant them. I would assume a couple $2000 as opposed to the $12,000 or more.
