Regulating Fertility Doctors

Nadya Suleman, the mother who gave birth to octuplets, said in an interview that aired Monday on NBC's "Today" show that she used the West Coast IVF Clinic for all of her pregnancies but did not name her doctor in the NBC interview. She did say that the same physician, Dr. Michael Kamrava, helped her conceive all 14 of her children at the clinic. This revelation raises questions about the medical guidelines and regulations that govern fertility clinics and practices and whether any of these guidelines have been violated. The Medical Board of California said last week it was looking into the matter to see if there was a "violation of the standard of care" for implanting so many embryos. Larry Mantle and guests will discuss national and statewide regulations that govern the standard of care for fertility treatments and the certification of fertility doctors.
