Fertility SOURCE Companies is proud to present our
First Annual East Coast, Third Party Reproduction One-Day Symposium:
“Directions & Trends in Egg Freezing” on Friday, Sept 26, 2008
New York, NY (August 1, 2008) – Ovum Cryopreservation (egg freezing) has been much talked about in recent times and many think it will dominate Third Party Reproduction in the near future. Many believe that use of frozen eggs involves less coordination for donor IVF cycles and perhaps less cost for IVF patients. As success rates improve, the expectation of large scale resort to egg freezing grows. Our one-day symposium will focus on the clinical, legal and psychological/ethical aspects of egg freezing. Further, via roundtables, we will seek to discuss controversial and developmental aspects of egg freezing.
We have arranged a group of speakers who are prominent in the Third Party Reproduction field. We will also be hosting roundtable discussion sessions on key subjects of interest to all those who are involved with treatments relating to Egg Freezing, Egg Donation and Surrogacy.
We will be hosting a one-day program that will cover the following topics:
- The Jury’s Out: Egg Freezing and Other New Legal and Ethical Challenges in 3rd Party Reproduction
- Susan L. Crockin, JD
The Crockin Law and Policy Group, LLC
- The Business of Egg Donation; Ethical Considerations
- Patricia Mendell, LCSW, BCD
Private Practice and Co-chair The American Fertility Association (AFA)
- Toward a National Frozen Egg Bank – Is it Feasible?
- C. Brent Barrett, PhD, HCLD
Scientific & Laboratory Director, Boston IVF
- Roundtable Discussions on Egg Donation and Egg Freezing
- Patricia Mendell, LCSW, BCD
- Renee Koon, Senior National Case Manager, The Donor SOURCE
- Brent Barrett, PhD, HCLD, Boston IVF
As Egg Freezing in Third Party Reproduction becomes a more important aspect of the fertility world, it is critical to keep up to date on new developments in the clinical, legal and administrative realms. Each year, our annual seminars will focus on the major areas of interest. We think your attendance will be worthwhile and we look forward to seeing you.
The program will run from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and will be held at the Marriott, East Side. Complimentary lunch will be served as part of the program.
