This insightful and thought-provoking collection of chapters describes the rapid advances that have revolutionised reproductive medicine. This transformation is the result of converging and overlapping developments in reproductive biology, molecular biology and genetics. These advances allied with remarkable technical developments are pushing the boundaries of this discipline ever faster forward. This volume surveys this rapid expansion and looks ahead at exciting new prospects for the future that stand at the watershed between basic science and clinical application. From oogeneis and spermatogenesis, through to fertilisation, embryogenesis, and cloning, this volume looks at cutting-edge technologies and scientific advances. Subsequent chapters focus on infertility and its diagnosis and treatment using the full armory of assisted reproductive technologies. A concluding section surveys the impact of these developments on the provision, regulation and financing of reproductive health care in the global community.
