MOUNTING EVIDENCE OF IVF DEFECTS

Two new studies

MELBOURNE, March 21, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Yet another side defect associated with in vitro fertilization is being reported: abnormalities such as "ambiguous genitalia."

Evidence presented at a symposium at the Monash Institute of Reproduction and development in Melbourne last week shows that certain IVF techniques may pass on birth defects from fathers with defective sperm -- particular when hopeful IVF parents ignore the known risks.

Meanwhile, SPUC highlights a Science Daily report that IVF babies are more prone to urological defects such as development of the bladder outside the body. Researchers at Johns Hopkins say such disorders are 7 times more likely in IVF children.
