Prevention of infertility.: Z1-1989/3-41-21E

Preventing infertility before it occurs is less dramatic and personal than assisting an infertile couple to have a child. Although prevention programs do benefit particular individuals, they are directed at groups or populations: they are concerned not with dramatic and identifiable outcomes for particular individuals, but with avoiding the need for drama for people whose identity is never known. Although, for the foreseeable future, a significant level of infertility cannot be prevented, it is likely that many of the women and men currently seeking infertility treatment would not have needed such treatment if there had been adequate and timely programs aimed at the prevention of infertility.
