title: Attitudes towards oocyte and embryo donation and disposal.
abstract: The attitudes of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) patients, their relatives, and their friends towards oocyte and embryo donation and disposal of frozen embryos were determined by questionnaire. The results obtained from a group of patients undergoing IVF treatment in the hospital were compared and some differences in attitudes were detected. Most respondents find embryo research and the creation of embryos, especially for research, acceptable under some circumstances and this contrasts with current Victorian legislation.
