Creating a Three-Parent Child: An Educational Paradigm for the Responsible Conduct of Research

The field of assisted reproduction is renowned for its remarkable advances and constant pushing forward of research boundaries in an effort to offer innovative and effective methods for enhancing fertility. Accompanying these advances, however, are physiological, psychological, and bioethical conseq...
