Proper assessment of the chance of getting pregnant gives the opportunity to choose the appropriate method of treatment, so as not to lead to unnecessary waste of reproduction time [ 7 ]. Algorithms with a pair suffering from reduced fertility, as well as the diagnostic minimum, are not fully specified.…”

This paper will briefly summarize some historical ethical criticisms of IVF as a practice in itself.…”
