"Another way to look at costs is to determine the cost of establishing a pregnancy. Thus if a clomiphene treatment has a chance to establish a pregnancy in 8% of cycles and costs $500, it will cost ~ $6,000 to establish a pregnancy, compared to an IVF cycle (cycle fecundity 40%) with a corresponding cost of ($12,000/40%) $90,000"
The math $12,000/40% does not equal $90,000 it equals $30,000.

Maybe we should add a section dealing with the issues of disease transmission through ART. ART is currently the preferred method for reproduction for those with certain communicable diseases.
Does anybody have a better idea how to organize the manual techniques than by dependence of IVF or not? Mikael Häggström 18:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is what looks like a chunk of the original paragraph missing. Please track it down and repair, for I don't really trust myself in fixing it i might break the article even more --24.36.93.247 (talk) 18:05, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't this whole section be better off in the IVF article? K. the Surveyor (talk) 04:27, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In the Jan 2014 version of this article, the risk of genetic disorders is dramatically overstated and not supported by the given reference Zhang et al. 2008.
This study is a proteomic comparison of 12 IVF, 12 ICSI, and 12 control placenta samples by 2-DE. HNRNPC is elevated in both IVF and ICSI samples. The authors speculate without evidence given in their article that this may be due to increased DNA damage. DNA damage itself may result in genetic disorders but does not usually do so. Most instances of DNA damage are corrected without such problems, when you take a UV bath at the beach for example.
We need a reference for the claim of genetic disorder risk or that point should be deleted.
Tony1, regarding this edit you made, I'd changed that part of the line to "are" in 2013 per the WP:Refers essay. Yes, WP:Refers is not a policy or a guideline, but a growing number of editors are following it. That stated, I understand what you mean about not using "are" for the line in question.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the use of procedures such as fertility medication, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and surrogacy to achieve pregnancy.
Well, no, the technology is not "the use of". The technology exists whether it's used or not. Tony (talk) 04:38, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—which is required as a result of the 1992 Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act to publish the annual ART success rates at U.S. fertility clinics—defines ART to include "all fertility treatments in which both eggs and sperm are handled. In general, ART procedures involve surgically removing eggs from a woman's ovaries, combining them with sperm in the laboratory, and returning them to the woman's body or donating them to another woman." According to CDC, "they do not include treatments in which only sperm are handled (i.e., intrauterine—or artificial—insemination) or procedures in which a woman takes medicine only to stimulate egg production without the intention of having eggs retrieved." The American Society for Reproductive medicine defines Assisted Reproductive Tehcnology as "Assisted reproductive technologies (ART). All treatments which include the handling of eggs and/or embryos. Some examples of ART are in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), pronuclear stage tubal transfer (PROST), tubal embryo transfer (TET), and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT)."— Preceding unsigned comment added by AngeliaPitman (talk • contribs) 17:50, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In July 2017, German parliament allowed same-sex marriages. Since that year also married lesbian couples got assisted reproductive technology in Germany. --178.11.1.2 (talk) 14:04, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In July 2020 France parliament allowed assisted reproductive technology also for lesbian couples and single women.
