Differences between parental selection for adoption and embryo donation unfair
The magnitude of the difference between the selection criteria for adoption and embryo donation is unfair and unjustifiable. The procedures should be reassessed, argues an analysis in the Journal of Medical Ethics. The differences hinge on the social and emotional suitability criteria for adoption - fitness to parent - and the medical suitability criteria for embryo donation - physical ability to...

Choosing healthy embryos in IVF
A revolutionary method for detecting which human embryos are most likely to develop successfully to the stage at which they implant in the womb has been developed by scientists at the University of York and clinicians at Leeds General Infirmary. The research has been funded by the Medical Research Council. The discovery, if confirmed in clinical trials, could bring new hope for many couples... View More (2002-05-07)
