Effects and costs of in-vitro fertilization. Again, let's be honest.
The decision whether to enhance diffusion and to reimburse for the fertility treatment in-vitro fertilization (IVF) was postponed in the Netherlands until the results of a cost-effectiveness analysis were known. IVF appeared to be as cost-effective as its most important alternative, tubal surgery. But policy decisions still were not straightforward, obscuring important social and ethical issues.
