Egg freezing is a bit of a different topic, but IVF is in my opinion wonderful for those who truly want children but who have had difficulties. In some countries (Italy I think) they only allow the implantation of one fertilized ovum, so that the issue of multiple implantations is obviated. This leads to a lower success rate, but it's still pretty good for people with no other viable options. Having said that, I am a big proponent of adoption, if everything is done the right way with the best interest of the child ensured.

I’m the uncle of triplet nieces conceived via IVF so I’m probably biased. No, I’m definitely biased when I say that it’s a wonderful technology. This egg freezing business in anticipation of getting pregnant in the indefinite future is a different matter. Very sad, actually.

How many are fertilized?
