Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In Australia there have been 26,818 live births after IVF and other assisted conception treatments up to 1997. The 3,164 births resulting from assisted conception in 1996 accounted for 1.2% of all Australian births in that year. In 1997 the number of births had increased by 9.3% to 3,458. Medical and scientific advances in the area of artificial reproductive technology have resulted in a complexity of moral, medical and legal issues with respect to the infertile couple or person. The following paper attempts to highlight some of these issues, from a social, legal and technological perspective, and then consider the approach taken by governments and regulatory bodies. |
