This paper contrasts the ways in which the physician-scientist developing in vitro fertilization ("the king") sees the world and the way women experience it. It challenges the truth of what the king sees: i.e., that women have a desperate will to be mothers that must be fulfilled at all costs; that the way to make infertile women mothers is through the use of new reproductive technologies; that IVF programs are quite successful and that women who enter these programs actually come away with babies.
