Report urges funding for infertility studies
The House Government Operations Committee urged the Bush administration to allow federal funds for infertility research including in vitro fertilization. The report notes IVF has become established yet shows only about 6 percent success per cycle and cites 2.4 million affected American couples. Republicans on the panel argue private sector effort may reduce urgency for public funding and prefer congressional decision making. The report recommends exempting IVF from Ethics Advisory Board review and placing approval with the NIH director, with the board rebuilt for other controversial research.
