US Fertility Clinics Routinely Break the Rules

In Sweden, "we have a slogan: One at a time," said Dr. Karl Nygren, former head of an IVF monitoring committee for the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.

    Seventy percent of in vitro fertilization procedures in Sweden involved only a single embryo in 2005, according to Nygren. For Europe, the average was 20 percent. By contrast, only 11 percent in the U.S. involved one embryo in 2006.

    A key difference, though, is that health programs in Europe cover the cost, so that if one attempt fails, women can try again without having to worry about the expense.

    In the U.S., most patients have to foot the bill for IVF, which costs about $12,400 per attempt. Only 14 states make insurers cover some infertility treatments.

The article goes on to report that at least 20% of American fertility clinics plant too many embryos in young women, to increase success rate.

 I read (at FOX, of course) this morning that OctoMom Nadya was looking at million dollar houses and that Vivid Entertainment had offered her a porn movie job.  I heard an NPR story on the drive home about people looking for their half-siblings with which they shared a sperm donor dad.  I am going to bring up how idiotic alot of this is every time someone gets on their anti-choice band wagon.   (Slugbug)

Thanks Julie!  (We former South Dakota girls find all this pretty bizarre..)
