Couples Undergoing Infertility Treatment Not Sure What To Do With Unused Embryos

[steaner]

According to the results of a new survey, couples who undergo infertility treatment are not happy with options they have when left with unused embryos.
Disposing of unused embryos, or donating them to other couples are not viewed as acceptable practice, thus they are often just stored and forgotten.
According to the survey, 1 in 5 women who said that they had unused embryos, said that they would probably just have them put in storage for ever.
36% of respondents said they would have their unused embryos destroyed.
Only 34% of respondents said that they would offer their unused embryos to other infertile couples.
The survey can be found in the journal Fertility and Sterility.
