Human reproduction is extraordinarily wasteful. The reasons for this have taxed all of the contributors to this book. As we move into the 21st century it is sobering to reflect on the fact that we have failed to harness the power of the evolving revolution in molecular medical biology to answer the fundamental question: why is the fate of a fertilized egg so hazardous and so unsuccessful? The following account summarizes our limited knowledge of the epidemiology of miscarriage and then moves on to consider some of the medical causes of miscarriage. The contribution of genetic abnormalities to the problem of pregnancy wastage is discussed elsewhere in this volume.
人类生殖过程极其浪费。其中的原因让本书的所有撰稿人都费尽心思。当我们步入21世纪时，反思这样一个事实令人警醒：我们未能利用分子医学生物学不断发展的革命力量来回答这个基本问题，即为什么受精卵的命运如此危险且如此不成功？以下内容总结了我们对流产流行病学的有限认识，然后继续探讨流产的一些医学原因。本卷其他地方讨论了遗传异常对妊娠丢失问题的影响。
