Abstract

Physicians in several fields, patients, families, and the public at large would benefit from more education and understanding regarding infertility and its treatment—from information about basic biology and causes of infertility to specific procedures and the ethical, legal, social, and psychological issues that can arise. Patients must comprehend myriad new facts, which can take considerable effort, struggling to grasp important aspects of statistics and genetics, including recessive genes and variants of unknown significance. Many physicians in and outside of the field of infertility also have knowledge gaps about these medical (e.g., genetic), psychological, and ethical issues and vary in how well they educate patients.
