Extract

As the media have recently reminded all Americans, biomedical capabilities that are being developed in this country and around the world present us with unfamiliar possibilities in human reproduction, from which flow unprecedented ethical, social and legal issues.

The transfer of a human embryo from one woman to another is one such possibility, though far from the only one. The time has come for a public examination of the full range of developments in reproduction from artificial insemination through in vitro fertilization to the freezing and banking of sperm, eggs, and embryos.
