Irresponsible, yes, although it's not unheard of to transfer up to 5 untested embryos to older women. So I don't think he should lose his license. <br /><br />And I totally agree-- that "implant" thing drives me crazy.

Tyler is the same way with me, more expectations and fussy if they're not fully met.<br /><br />It totally frustrates me too when they say "implant" instead of "transfer", so of course everyone says it that way. What really gets to me is when an IVF patient says it!<br /><br />Best of luck to you on this cycle! So glad Brett can go with you.

And I'm equally annoyed that the "experts" NEVER correct the reporters. <br /><br />Not that I think "transferring" (which is what it is) 12 effen embryos isn't GROSSLY IRRESPONSIBLE (I swear, the children who have some ill effects from their low birth weight and prematurity should sue the pants off of this guy when they're emancipated) but you can transfer a hundred embryos and never have one implant. <br /><br />That part's not up to the doctor - I wish it were!Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288560043939554132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-82269115155096812592010-10-19T15:43:39.841-07:002010-10-19T15:43:39.841-07:00I certainly agree with your thoughts about the wor...I certainly agree with your thoughts about the word "implant" used in so many stories in the media. Though I did see this quoted in the story about this particular case - "Though other doctors in the field say they're not impressed with it, Kamrava has long touted a method of in vitro fertilization that implants an embryo _ or sometimes sperm with an unfertilized egg _ directly into the uterine lining." So I am wondering if the dr. actually did his "implant" procedure on the octomom. Possibly, but I also saw in the same story that the prosecutor used the term "transfer" so it's a bit confusing in this case.
