Projectomschrijving

A recent branch within reproductive medicine aims to preserve the fertility of people whose reproductive potential is threatened by disease, medical treatments or other factors. This can be done by removing, storing and/or transplanting gametes, embryos and reproductive tissue. We aim to grasp the ethical issues that arise with each of these interventions.
