Liza Mundy chronicles this year’s ASRM discussion of the recent New England Journal discussion of IVF risks. The framing of the Slate piece is ASRM’s colorful bazaar atmosphere and the even more wild atmosphere of IVF (according to Mundy). But the article is a really outstanding overview of the state of the debate, complete with references to all the studies. Anybody planning to teach IVF ethics issues to undergraduates or laypeople should read this piece.
