[Above what limits is ART of no avail?].
Legal limits to assisted reproduction technologies are rather blurred. The law of July 1994 only says that people must be "in age of procreation"; medical opposable reference only says that infertility exploration must begin before 45 years. The guide of good practice in ART writes that over 37 only women with normal ovarian reserve must be included in ART programs. So physicians have to fix their own limits, according to success rate and this limit is often 42-43 years for women.
