Fertility Clinics Are ‘Exploiting’ Some Infertile Women, Claims IVF Pioneer Lord Winston

(Daily Mail) – A fertility expert has today hit out at the ‘exportation’ of infertile women by some clinics. IVF pioneer Lord Robert Winston told peers in the House of Lords, that regulation by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority allowed for ‘entirely unvalidated experimental treatment’. Giving an example, Lord Winston said many clinics advertise on the London Underground and ‘some have relationships to do work overseas in other clinics, which are not allowed by British regulation’.
