But the new techniuue, combined with hormonal tnerapy, would help an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 women without func tioning ovaries, said Gary D. Hodgen, chief of the National Institutes of Health pregnancy research branch- This technique is for the woman who has no way to have a baby and has no other options, Hodgen said in an interview. “This is a whole new oppor tunity never before presented to these couples — that’s signifi cant,” he said. “This mav be the new hope and the only hope they have of actually experienc ing the pregnancy and giving birth to a child.” In the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association, Hodgen reported an experi ment in which 11 of 17 monkey embryos were successfully trans ferred to rhesus monkeys whose ovaries have been surgically re moved. Four recipients became pregnant and gave birth. “There is nothing biologically that is a barrier to attempting it immediately” in humans, Hodgen said. But he cautioned that ethical and legal issues first must be considered. Potential candidates would have a “competent” uterus but would lack eggs for fertilization and hormones normally pro duced by ovaries — estrogen and progesterone. The egg from the donor would be collected from her re productive tract, fertilized with sperm of the recipient’s hus band, and then transferred to the recipient’s womb. In the experiment, Hodgen implanted a tiny plastic tube 1 Ol This technique may be the only hope in fertile women ha ve of actually experiencing pregnancy and giving birth to a child. under the monkey’s skin that slowly released estrogen for two weeks to develop the lining of the womb — then progesterone to allow the fertilized egg to attach to the womb. "The primate results suggest that this will probably be effec tive for the treatment of human infertility,” he said. “Ethically, we must decide as a society if we are willing to apply this form of infertility treatment."
