Washington, D.C. – A groundbreaking resource published today by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) and the Heritage Foundation presents Treating Infertility: The New Frontier of Reproductive Medicine, a first-of-its-kind guide advocating for restorative reproductive medicine (RRM) as an ethical and effective alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies.
With infertility rates rising and birth rates declining across the United States, more couples are struggling with reproductive challenges. However, concerns over the ethical and financial implications of the fertility industry highlight the need for new approaches. This publication, co-edited by EPPC’s Natalie Dodson and the Heritage Foundation’s Emma Waters, critically examines the reproductive care landscape while promoting a holistic and patient-centered solution.
The report features insights from physicians, ethicists, and policy experts, addressing key topics such as fertility treatment, reproductive health conditions, surrogacy, and the regulatory framework of the fertility industry. Designed as a resource for lawmakers, regulators, and policymakers, Treating Infertility aims to inform legislative and public discussions on reproductive healthcare.
“The infertility crisis affects millions of Americans and deserves national attention,” said EPPC Policy Analyst Natalie Dodson. “However, the response should not be to reinforce a profit-driven industry with ethical concerns. This project introduces policy solutions that focus on restoring fertility and addressing the root causes of infertility.”
Divided into two sections, the report first explores RRM—a series of medical protocols aimed at diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of reproductive dysfunction. The second section provides an in-depth analysis of the fertility industry, its current regulations, and the future of assisted reproductive technology.
By offering a comprehensive look at reproductive healthcare alternatives, Treating Infertility encourages a shift toward medical solutions that prioritize long-term fertility health over industry-driven approaches, providing a new framework for addressing the nation’s infertility crisis.
