One can only imagine the disappointment and even perhaps the sense of failure, which many couples experience when it is not possible for them to have a child. Against that background, assisted human reproduction therapy, in its various forms, must seem like a godsend. The recommendations of the report of the Commission for Assisted Human Reproduction extend well beyond the issue of infertility and touch on a wide variety of sociological and scientific issues which are, so to speak, consequences of the availability of human gametes and human embryos generated by assisted human reproduction. We will respond in some detail to each of these recommendations."
