The Ethics Committee recommends development of evidence-based policies that are patient centered for each IVF center. In most cases, the provision of futile therapies is not ethically justifiable. For those treatments with very poor success rates, clinicians must be vigilant in their presentation of risks, benefits, and alternatives. This document was reviewed in June 2009. This version replaces the previous version of this document, published in October 2004.
伦理委员会建议为每个体外受精中心制定以患者为中心的循证政策。在大多数情况下，提供无效治疗在伦理上是不合理的。对于成功率极低的治疗，临床医生在阐述风险、益处和替代方案时必须保持警惕。本文件于2009年6月进行了审核。此版本取代了2004年10月发布的该文件的先前版本。
