Abstract:
Legal issues affect reproductive medical practice throughout the entire world. The breadth and depth of this interrelationship extend far beyond the scope of one series of articles in Views and Reviews. Given this limitation, we have chosen to present five topics, all different, but illustrative of key concepts that influence our practice of reproductive medicine. Our hope is that this "medical-legal sampler" will both inform and provoke thoughtful consideration of the ways we can best and most responsibly practice and serve our patients.
