Abstract
Infertility affects 1 in 6 people globally (and up to a third of physicians) and is recognized by the World Health Organization and the American Medical Association as a disease. Since 1978, the development of assisted reproductive technology (ART), which is defined as fertility treatments in which gametes or embryos are handled in vitro, has made it possible to overcome otherwise insurmountable barriers to conception and has led to the birth of more than 10 million children worldwide.
