The Future of IVF
What Is Minimal Stimulation?
By Kelly Burgess
Leach's speculation that the reduced emotional and physical stress of MS IVF is intriguing in light of recent research on the effects of stress and stress reduction on infertility and pregnancy rates. It also points out what Dr. Leondires says is the best result of Dr. Zhang's research, which is the movement toward personalization of treatment for infertile patients. For some, this would mean MS IFV; for others, it would still mean traditional IVF or perhaps some other procedure. Ultimately, this ability to personalize treatment would save time and money, control the problem of unnecessary embryos and result in greater success rates for everyone.

IVF is an amazing gift to those who are unable to conceive naturally. What is unfortunate is that there are those who try to limit science and medical advances.

It's unfortunate that so much of the world finds IVF an acceptible method for achieving pregnancy. It violates the right of the child to be born out of an act of love. It turns the child into a right rather than a gift. It has a high failure rate, which means fertilized embryos (a.k.a. human lives) perish in the process. Those that don't perish are suspended indefinitely in liquid nitrogen - a grave violation of their right to live. My heart goes out to those who have trouble achieving pregnancy. As a father myself, I can't imagine what pain there must be in wanting to conceive and not being able to. But such pain, no matter how great, can never justify the use of IVF. It would be like achieving the good of material prosperity by killing someone and taking their possessions. The end result is good, but the method used for acheiving it is not.

I think it is unfortunate that one person tries to judge what another person does. If you don't agree, don't do it yourself, but you have no right to judge anyone else. Live and let live.
