| Summary: | Here, authors who have been involved in the support and education of infertile couples for many years, explore in compelling detail the medical, legal, ethical and psycholoical implications of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The first part of the book explains the alphabet of treatments -- IVF, GIFT, ZIFT, and ICSI -- with a minimum of technical language, also covering pregnancy after ART and pregnancy loss. The second part looks in detail at third-party parenting options -- sperm donation, ovum donation, surrogacy, gestational care, and embryo donation. |
