Ethics Advisory BoardO n March 16, 1979, the Ethics Advisory Board concluded that, with certain constraints, research on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (popularly referred to as test-tube babies) is ethically acceptable. The Board's recommendations to HEW Secretary Joseph Califano were ...

A more positive ethics of in-vitro fertilization is presented which seeks to respect (a) what is known in the relevant science and done in developing practice; (b) the inseparability of research from clinical application; (c) a moral tradition of long-standing which relates the protection of...
