520 _aDoctors and professors of reproductive medicine Fauser and Devroey relay their knowledge of this field's many advances since the first live in-vitro fertilization birth in 1978. With reasoned, rational discussion, the authors review the technology, ethical dilemmas, and statistical results of many current practices, providing data from around the world. Looking to the future, they address controversial topics including cloning, pregnancy in older women, and posthumous reproduction. With sympathy for patients who undergo fertility treatment, the authors discuss techniques and outcomes in fascinating detail, informing both practitioners and patients. A glossary, abbreviation reference key, and numerous visual aids contribute to a valuable resource for those with a personal or professional interest in assisted fertility. The book's information on the availability of IVF relates to Europe, and the prices for procedures are given in euros.
