Fertility Treatment Numbers Increasing
The number of children born from assisted reproductive technology has been
increasing dramatically worldwide. It is said that in one year the numbers
have increased by nearly 25 percent. It is estimated that nearly 250,000
babies are conceived using such fertility treatments.
Science Daily said, "There are several important points to highlight. There
has been a constant increase in ART activity: it increased by more than 25%
in the two years since the previous report for the year 2000. This is due
not only to an increase in the number of countries participating in this
report but also to an increase in ART activity in most individual
countries."
Much of the increase is due in part to developing countries beginning to
participate and implement infertility treatments. Fertility clinics are
beginning to pop-up in generally less-medically advanced nations. Many
infertile couples are travelling abroad for their IVF and other treatments.
