Surrogate embryo transfer is
now performed only on women
with functioning ovaries. 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.

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

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."
