Legal Aspects of Iatrogenic Multiple Pregnancy
Authors
Abstract:
During Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures, the transfer of a single embryo dramatically reduces the rate of multiple pregnancy. Proper information, therefore, should be delivered to patients before embryo transfer. In many countries, regulations limit, according to age of the patient, the number of embryos to be transferred. Selective fetal reduction should not be considered as a suitable alternative to a single embryo transfer policy. The international federation of obstetricians and gynaecologists (FIGO) recommendations on Multifetal reduction outline that the priority should be a careful planning and monitoring of infertility treatment for the reduction or avoidance of multiple pregnancy.

full textMultiple pregnancy: legal and ethical issues.
Multiple pregnancy is increasingly considered a complication of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and ovarian stimulation for natural fertilization. Harms to fetuses, newborn and older children, mothers, families, and healthcare systems are encouraging single embryo transfer. When patients knowingly accept multiple pregnancy risks from IVF or ovarian stimulation, they are unlikely to succeed in liti...
