Welcome to Fertility and Sterility Roundtable, hosted by Dr. Emily Barnard and Dr. Ben Peipert! Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility and Sterility.

Today, we will be discussing the Fertile Battle from the February issue of Fertility and Sterility which is entitled "Should you do ultrasound monitoring and trigger for intrauterine insemination cycles? We are joined by two of the authors, Dr. Cassie Hobbs who will be taking the "pro" side in favor of ultrasound monitoring, and Dr. Lindsay Hartup, who will be arguing to do away with ultrasound monitoring.

Dr. Cassie Hobbs is a second-year Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed her OB/GYN residency training at Brown University and received her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine. She is passionate about examining disparities that exist in reproductive medicine and taking steps to make family building a more equitable process for all.

Dr. Lindsay Hartup is a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She completed medical school and Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at the University of Texas Health San Antonio. Her research interests are fertility preservation/oncofertility, assisted reproductive technology, and chronic endometritis.

Welcome to Fertility & Sterility Roundtable! Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility & Sterility.

This week, we welcome Dr. Paula Amato and Professor Glenn Cohen to discuss the legal and ethical implications of in vitro gametogenesis (IVG) - the creation of human eggs and sperm in a laboratory setting using non-reproductive cells, such as skin or blood cells. Through our discussion, we will explore several issues raised by this nacent technology, including safety, Food and Drug Administration review, embryo destruction, eugenics, enhancement, unauthorized parenthood, inequitable access, and evolving conceptions of parenthood.

Dr. Paula Amato is Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility at Oregon Health & Science University. She received her medical degree from the University of Toronto in Canada, where she also completed her Residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology, followed by a Fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Amato is past-president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Her research focuses on innovative assisted reproductive technologies for the treatment of infertility and ovarian aging.

Professor Glenn Cohen is the James A. Attwood and Leslie Williams Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where he directs the Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics. A member of the National Academy of Medicine, his work focuses on the intersection of bioethics and the law. He has advised policymakers and global organizations on topics such as genetic privacy, medical AI, and reproductive rights, and his work has been featured by several prominent news outlets, including PBS, NPR, CNN, and The New York Times.
