Abstract
According to the American Society of reproductive Medicine, fertility problems affect 7.3 million of women and their partners in the United States. That compromises about twelve percent of the population of reproductive age (American Society for reproductive Medicine, 2008). The majority of patients with fertility problems (85-90%) are treated with conventional medical therapies such as medication or surgery. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) and other modern assisted reproductive techniques (ART) of infertility treatment, including frozen embryo donation and adoption, account for less than three percent of infertility services and comprise only 0.07% of the U.S healthcare cost (American Society for reproductive Medicine, 2008).
