Gestational surrogacy provides patients with the ability to reproduce in the wake of medical contraindications to pregnancy or an inability to become pregnant. Outcomes of gestational surrogacy are overall positive and are quite similar to those of other assisted reproductive technologies. Gestational surrogacy presents several ethical considerations, including gestational carrier autonomy, procreative liberty, access to care, and cross-border surrogacy. Additionally, its legalities differ between states. Gestational surrogacy continues to be a topic that is worthy of consideration, legislation, and discussion.

Particulate air pollution at the time of oocyte retrieval is independently associated with reduced odds of live birth in subsequent frozen embryo transfers.
Hum Reprod
January 2025
Department of Reproductive Medicine, King Edward Memorial Hospital, Subiaco, Australia.
Study Question: Does exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution prior to oocyte retrieval or subsequent frozen embryo transfer (FET) affect the odds of live birth?
Summary Answer: Live birth rates are lower when particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) levels are higher prior to oocyte retrieval, regardless of the conditions at the time of embryo transfer.
What Is Known Already: Exposure to air pollution is associated with adverse reproductive outcomes, including reduced fecundity and ovarian reserve, and an increased risk of infertility and pregnancy loss.
Immune profiling of ART-conceived children in Kazakhstan: a case-control study.

Department of Assisted Reproductive Technologies, International Clinical Centre of Reproduction "PERSONA", Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Objective: The increasing use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has led to a growing interest in the health outcomes of offspring. However, the impact of ART on the immune system of children remains poorly understood. While only two publications were found, their findings contradict each other and did not consider other risk factors in their analysis except for ART use.
