In January 1979, Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe delivered a lecture detailing the ten-year clinical and scientific research programme that led to the birth of Louise Brown, the first baby born utilising IVF. This thoroughly-researched book provides both a full annotated transcript of the lecture as well as recorded reminiscences from those who attended, detailing the contemporary understandings of the event. An essay on the lecture's historical context adds fresh insight into the biographies of Edwards and Steptoe and highlights sources from print and broadcast media that have received scant attention in earlier publications. Current and future implications of the advances in IVF since the first procedure are also explored, examining future medical and scientific possibilities as well as ethical issues that may arise.

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.

Bringing together the latest information on the organization, management and quality of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) units, this is the first true field guide for the clinician working in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Divided thematically into four main sections, part one discussed the establishment and organization of the IVF unit, including location, design and construction, practical considerations for batching IVF cycles, and regulations and risk management. Part two, the largest section, covers the many aspects of overall quality management and its implementation – staff and patient management, cryobank and PGD/PGS management, and data management – as well as optimization of treatment outcomes and statistical process control analysis to assess quality variation. Part three addresses the relationship between IVF units and society at large, including the ethics of IVF treatment, as well as public/low-cost and private/corporate IVF units. Advertising and marketing for IVF units is discussed in part four, including the building and managing of websites and the use of traditional print and social media. With approximately five thousand IVF units worldwide and a growing number of training programs, Organization and Management of IVF Units is a key resource for clinic directors, unit managers, embryologists, quality experts, and students of reproductive medicine and clinical embryology.

In vitro fertilisatie (IVF)-reageerbuisbevruchting - riep in de jaren 80 veel emoties op. De pers bracht het beeld van wanhopige vrouwen die maar niet zwanger konden raken. De betrokken artsen presenteerden deze techniek als de oplossing voor de onvervulde kinderwens. Het toenmalige ministerie van WVC wist zich geen raad met IVF en liet de ontwikkelingen op hun beloop. De politieke partijen durfden geen duidelijk standpunt in te nemen. De vrouwenbeweging bediscussieerde of door IVF de autonomie van vrouwen bij de voortplanting wel groter werd. Intussen werd IVF op steeds groter schaal toegepast. Draagmoederschap, het gebruik van IVF door alleenstaande en lesbische vrouwen, eiceldonaties en embryoonderzoek, de kranten stonden er vol mee. In de commotie verdwenen de belangrijke vragen naar de effectiviteit en veiligheid van deze techniek naar de achtergrond. Noch de politiek noch de nationale overheid hield voldoende rekening met de belangrijke vragen van de vrouwenbeweging inzake voortplantingstechnieken. Besluiten werden genomen op basis van vooronderstellingen die ook nu nog niet hard zijn gemaakt. Dertien jaar na de geboorte van de eerste Nederlandse 'ivf-baby' is de veiligheid van ivf nog steeds niet degelijk onderzocht. Toch worden er steeds nieuwe, verdergaande bevruchtingstechnieken behandeld voor de onvruchtbaarheid van hun mannen.
