title: Assisted reproductive technologies in europe encompass diverse and complex ethical viewpoints: issues to be considered in reporting research in human reproduction.
abstract: The many dimensions of the field of reproduction (clinical, scientific, social, ethical, legal) must be addressed by those with editorial responsibility for the major journals in the field. As the editorial team of the leading reproductive journal Human Reproduction, we have evolved processes that attempt to ensure a transparent but robust approach to complexities whose impact varies across international boundaries.
