ABSTRACT
One of the results of the development of medically assisted reproduction – more particularly in vitro fertilisation (IVF), gamete intra Fallopian transfer (GIFT), and controlled hyperstimulation – is the increase of multifetal pregnancies and multiple births. Several well-publicised cases have promoted public awareness of the risks involved in these pregnancies and births. I will concentrate on ethical issues related to the management of the risks of multifetal pregnancies in the context of IVF.
