548. IVF Ethics: What Really Worries Fertility Experts Today

In this episode, Prof Chapman explores how ethical concerns around IVF have evolved over the past four decades. He reflects on the early fears surrounding IVF, including concerns about interfering with nature and the long-term health of IVF-conceived children, and explains how decades of research have helped address many of those worries. Prof Chapman also shares his views on topics such as gender selection, genetic testing, and the likelihood of so-called “designer babies.” While he believes current fertility technologies are largely ethically sound, he highlights one growing concern: the increasing use of IVF in cases where less invasive fertility treatments may be more appropriate. Explore the 'Prof. Michael Chapman - The IVF Journey' Facebook Page, your reliable destination for cutting-edge insights and guidance within the realm of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).Don't miss out on the IVF Journey podcast; stay informed with the latest episode updates.
