Assisted conception with in‐vitro fertilization and related reproductive interventions is the only practical way of treating many infertile couples. This article examines the cost‐effectiveness of in‐vitro fertilization procedures, the importance of not isolating these procedures from the general management of infertility, and the urgent need to clarify the ethical justification for research on the early human embryo.
