Creating brave new families with advanced reproductive technologies.
The advanced reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization, gamete intrafallopian transfer, and donor gametes have created "brave new families," which can no longer be described by traditional definitions based on genetics and gestation. Understanding the particular stresses and issues that these families face can be particularly helpful to the clinician working with these couples and their children. The potential long-term effects also are explored.
