IVG has the potential to revolutionise human reproduction. In our latest blog, we summarise the discussions from our recent IVG Ethics and Policy Symposium held in the Netherlands.
Here are six things that you should know about IVG: tinyurl.com/4b72thvy
It's Friday so why not take some time out to read our blog about the cultural and scientific history of ectogenesis. It traces the evolution of ectogenesis from babies in bottles to life-saving advances for extremely premature infants.

What role could and should caution play as artificial placenta technology continues to develop? This is the question being considered by our very first guest blogger @VickyAdkins1990.

It was great to be at the #EuroIVG symposium with @FutureofRepro.
Our Council Member Frances Flinter was there to share insights from our previous work on #mitochondrialDNA & how it might help inform current UK policy work on in-vitro gametes (IVG).

To start us off, @lauraaodonovan, @Sfovargue, @Wilkinson2S and @Nickular are introducing the UK-focused IVG policy work they have been doing in collaboration with @Nuffbioethics.
Look out for the Policy Briefing Note which will be published later this year.
#EuroIVG
A fantastic two days in Leiden exploring the ethical, regulatory and policy implications raised by IVG. We’d like to thank the panel chairs, speakers and participants for an insightful and stimulating discussion. #EuroIVG
We’re ending Day Two of our #EuroIVG symposium, in the same way as we ended Day One, with stunning visual representations of the presentations and discussions created by our live scribe Amber.
The final session of the day, chaired by @WilkinsonS2, is underway and we’re discussing the key issues raised by IVG and the next steps for the international IVG network. #EuroIVG
Next up, Emily Jackson, @AislingMMcMahon and Susan Golombok discuss regulating IVG; patents and IVG technologies in Europe; and what we might learn about children conceived using IVG from those born by other types of assisted reproduction. James Lawford Davies responds. #EuroIVG
Mitinori and his research team have recently reported a major scientific breakthrough in IVG. For the first time, human stem cells that were originally skin cells have been reprogrammed into early-stage sperm and egg precursors. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
We’re starting Day Two of our #EuroIVG symposium with talks from Mitinori Saitou, who’ll be discussing the progress and challenges associated with mammalian in vitro gametogenesis; and Susana Chuva de Sousa Lopes who’ll be introducing the HipGametes project.
