Abstract:
The Ministry of Health of Turkey has just passed a new legislation on assisted reproduction techniques. The new legislation covers significant changes in the regulation of opening new assisted reproduction treatment centres, funding of the treatment, number of embryos to be transferred, cryopreservation and donation. It takes a brave step towards reducing the incidence of multiple pregnancies. However, it also makes Turkey one of the most strictly regulated countries in the world. The statements on gamete cryopreservation and donation may have social and clinical consequences.
