What Ethical Considerations Arise in Reproductive Technology for Cancer Patients?
Several ethical considerations must be addressed:
1. Informed Consent: Patients must be fully informed about the risks and success rates of fertility preservation methods. 2. Access and Equity: Fertility preservation can be costly, raising issues about equitable access for all cancer patients. 3. Future Use: Decisions about the use of preserved genetic material in the event of the patient's death or severe illness must be considered.
