“…a significant percentage do not use wellestablished testing.' A 2011 study of 16 oocyte donation agencies and 28 assisted reproductive technologies clinics (out of 59 agencies and 205 clinics invited to take part) concluded that these programmes inconsistently applied genetic screening guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Medical Genetics, and ASRM (Lim et al, 2011). These wide variations in practice have resulted in unacceptable variations in practice and insufficiently robust genetic screening of donor gametes (Heled, 2010).…”

The regulation of assisted reproductive technologies is a contested area. Some jurisdictions, such as the UK and a number of Australian states, have comprehensive regulation of most aspects of assisted reproductive technologies; others, such as the USA, have taken a more piecemeal approach and rely on professional guidelines and the general regulation of medical practice to govern this area. It will be argued that such a laissez-faire approach is inadequate for regulating the complex area of assisted reproductive technologies. Two key examples, reducing multiple births and registers of donors and offspring, will be considered to illustrate the effects of the regulatory structure of assisted reproductive technologies in the USA on practice. It will be concluded that the regulatory structure in the USA fails to provide an adequate mechanism for ensuring the ethical and safe conduct of ART services, and that more comprehensive regulation is required.
