This comprehensively updated and expanded second edition builds on its successful and popular predecessor, retaining the practical features which made the first edition such an essential guide to IVF. The edition describes additions to the range of ART clinical treatments, including the use of testicular and epididymal sperm, blastocyst stage transfer, and new perspectives in cryobiology and cryopreservation techniques. By incorporating laboratory techniques and protocols, with an even greater emphasis on quality control, it provides an indispensable and practical account. The introductory chapters covering the scientific background that underpins effective laboratory practice have been substantially expanded, derived from research in mammalian systems into the molecular biology of oogenesis, oocyte maturation, and early embryo metabolism. This second edition distils a wealth of practical and scientific detail for the benefit of all IVF practitioners.

In Thailand, infertility remains a source of stigma for those couples that combine a range of religious, traditional and high-tech interventions in their quest for a child. This book explores this experience of infertility and the pursuit and use of assisted reproductive technologies by Thai couples. Though using assisted reproductive technologies is becoming more acceptable in Thai society, access to and choices about such technologies are mediated by differences in class position. These stories of women and men in private and public infertility clinics reveal how local social and moral sens

Even 30 years after the birth of the first "artificially produced baby Louise Brown in 1978, the desire for a child remains unfulfilled for many couples. Their hopes are to modern techniques of assisted reproduction. Reproductive medicine has since made enormous progress and opens up new opportunities. With these opportunities, however, are also linked new challenges, their moral and legal implications are considerable. Auch 30 Jahre nach der Geburt des ersten „Retortenbabys“ Louise Brown im Jahr 1978 bleibt für viele Paare der Wunsch nach einem eigenen Kind unerfüllt, und ihre Hoffnungen richten sich auf moderne Techniken assistierter Reproduktion. Die Reproduktionsmedizin hat seitdem immense Fortschritte gemacht und neue Chancen eröffnet. Mit diesen Chancen ist indessen zugleich eine Fülle neuer Herausforderungen verbunden, deren moralische und rechtliche Implikationen erheblich sind. Der vorliegende Band vereint Beiträge zweier Tagungen, die im Jahr 2007 vom »Forum für Ethik in der Medizin Frankfurt am Main e.V.« gemeinsam mit der »Arbeitsgruppe Reproduktionsmedizin und Embryonenschutz in der Akademie für Ethik in der Medizin« sowie vom »Zentrum für Medizinrecht« der Universität Göttingen veranstaltet wurden und welche die aktuelle Debatte um die Reproduktionsmedizin und ihre Möglichkeiten aufgreifen. Sie wenden sich den Errungenschaften und Problemen assistierter Fortpflanzung im Allgemeinen zu, widmen jedoch ihr Augenmerk speziell donogenen Techniken (Eizellspende, Samenspende, Embryospende) sowie dem Kinderwunsch in besonderen Situationen (etwa körperliche Behinderung, letale Erkrankung eines Partners, gleichgeschlechtliche Lebensgemeinschaften).
