How do you feel about Nadya Suleman, the recent mother of octuplets?
I think it was malpractice. I honestly feel like they should hand the bills over to the fertility guy and say, ‘You’re now financially responsible for the outcome of this pregnancy.’ What do you do to avoid giving women multiple births? Our success rates have been so good that I’m offering single-embryo transfer – transferring only one embryo to try and reduce the multiples. I don’t even like to see twins. Twins are a side effect of what we do, but my goal is not twins. My goal is a single pregnancy. I see that as the wave of the present, not of the future. We should be striving to do single-embryo transfers on patients. It greatly reduces the risk of having multiple pregnancies with twins down to only 3 percent, versus roughly 35 to 40 percent. What do you envision for the future of fertility? The big thing that’s going to be coming forward… has to do with egg freezing. Prior to a year to two years ago, we didn’t have the technology to satisfactorily freeze eggs. We can freeze embryos
