Analysis of the data sourced from manual searches of bibliographies from key articles showed that this technology in KSA is practiced in a strictly religious manner and certain aspects of the technology are completely forbidden. It further showed that lack of an official government in-vitro fertilization (IVF) registry to gather information on the activities of IVF clinics has limited the data available for international comparisons. Sharing information internationally could allow religiously concerned infertile couples to have access to the reproductive services in the Kingdom. It would further improve the quality of care, enhance certain techniques like in-vitro maturation and experimentation on embryos, by providing resources that are currently unavailable, keeping in view the religious beliefs and avoiding conflicts  ISSN : 0379-5284  Journal Name : The Saudi Medical Journal  Volume : 30  Issue Number : 4  Publishing Year : 1430 AH 2009 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Friday, April 1, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email حسان عبدالجبار AbdulJabbar, Hassan Investigator Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  29447.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
