Age 'should not be bar' to IVF treatment
THE head of the Government's fertility watchdog has declared age should not bar women in their 50s and 60s from having IVF treatment.
Lord Harries of Pentregarth, the chairman of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, said infertile patients of any age should not be refused treatment purely because they have passed the menopause.
He also suggested HFEA is to cut the number of embryos transferred into the wombs of most IVF patients from two to one to tackle the issue of twin and triplet births.
