Human Embryos and Preimplantation Genetic Technologies: Ethical, Social, and Public Policy Aspects presents the first holistic analysis of PGD and PGS as it is practiced and regulated worldwide. In addition to scientific and technical aspects, the book provides perspectives on the ethical, legal, religious, policy and social implications of global assisted reproduction technologies, including in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia. Chapters cover history, ethics, feminism, family dynamics, psychological and interpersonal factors, the current state of PGD and PGS in 20 different sovereign nations and religious communities, and provide an analysis of public policy concerns and future directions.

About the Author
Gianpiero D. Palermo, MD, PhD is Director of Assisted Fertilization and Andrology at the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM), Professor of Embryology in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and the Blavatnik Distinguished Professor of Reproductive Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Dr. Gianpiero Palermo is internationally known as an innovator in reproductive medicine, having developed intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a revolutionary procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg for fertilization. In recognition of his ground-breaking contribution to reproductive medicine, he has received prestigious awards, including the Serono Prize for Medical Research on chromosomal analysis of embryos; the Barbara Eck Menning Founder's Award from RESOLVE, the national infertility organization; the Shackman Memorial Lecture at Johns Hopkins; the Buckeye Lecture of the American Society of Andrology; the Jacob Heskel Gabbay Award in Biotechnology and Medicine; and the Russian Crystal Tube Award.
His current research includes molecular and genetic aspects of fertilization, follow-up of ICSI babies, and genetic aspects of male infertility, as well as devising new procedures to treat age-related female infertility, harvesting and differentiation of embryonic stem cells and in vitro maturation of male germ cells.
