Diffusion of In-Vitro Fertilization in the Netherlands and England: An Exploratory Study
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Abstract
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a relatively recent approach to overcoming human fertility problems. This study explored factors in the diffusion of IVF in England and in the Netherlands. Many factors were common to the two countries. Governments in both countries have been passive, apparently wishing to avoid entering a controversial field. Technology assessment has played little part in the diffusion process in these two countries.
