...system like the one in England, where reproductive medicine is overseen by a government agency that can revoke a doctor's license or close a clinic and sets age limits for fertility treatments. "Would we write laws limiting the size of someone's family to six?" asks Richard Paulson, director of the fertility program at the University of Southern California. "Would we write laws mandating selective reduction?" he asks, referring to the option of aborting some embryos if a high number of them successfully implant in the uterus...

"Would we write laws limiting the size of someone's family to six?
