title: Looking back, looking forward: the legacy of the National Advisory Board on Ethics in Reproduction (NABER).
abstract: The National Advisory Board on Ethics in Reproduction (NABER) was an independent, private, not-for-profit board created in 1991 by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Fertility Society (AFS) to review and comment on ethical issues related to the use of new reproductive technologies. This paper reviews NABER's mission and accomplishments, and attempts to make sense of why this vibrant, important organization closed its doors in 1998.
