Told with boldness and charm, Baby is a story about a woman's right to self-determination. Dr. Antonia Innes-Kerr is one of the most gifted surgeons of her generation. But choosing between testifying against a male colleague and convincing him to make her pregnant will prove the most challenging operation of her life.

Though a man can donate sperm a woman must receive her husband's permission to receive artificial insemination via donor sperm. This show explores how one woman must overcome both moral obstacles and the law in order to achieve her dream of having a child.
