170,000 Embryo Deaths Each Year in USA After IVF : 13th Sep 05
A study in the current issue of the journal Fertility and Sterility, the official journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, boasts that artificial fertility techniques have become more effective over the years.
The author of the study, Dr. James P. Toner, of the Atlanta Centre for Reproductive Medicine in Woodstock, Georgia, writes that the rate of births per IVF attempt at pregnancy has increased from 10% to 30% from 1985 to 1999.
However, a look at the government statistics Toner used in his analysis reveal that approximately 170,000 human embryos created in 1999 (when the practice became more effective according to Toner's analysis) died in the process of attempting to conceive a child via in vitro fertilisation.
