Description

This session will explore the complex issues surrounding assisted human reproduction. For some having a child is straightforward, the issue for them may be contraception. For others, having a child can be fraught with difficulties. Infertility is recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a disease affecting millions which also impacts their families. Assisted reproduction may bring hope, but there are often obstacles along the way ranging from the availability of fertility treatment and affordable healthcare, legal issues connected with establishing parentage and nationality, to discrimination.
