Israeli Reproduction Technology

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how Israel is very much on the cutting edge and supportive of reproductive technologies, boasting more fertility clinics per capita than any other nation in the world and having fertility specialists who are global leaders in the field of reproductive technology. It also discusses how the Israeli state subsidizes this trough its national health insurance.

From the Paper:

"With very few restrictions, every Israeli is eligible to receive an unlimited number of in-vitro fertilizations for free, regardless of their religion or marital status. The in-vitro fertilizations may continue until two live children have been born. The Israeli state also supports other forms of reproductive technologies. "This commitment theoretically obligates the state to subsidize hundreds of thousands of dollars of infertility treatment...as a standard part of the basic basket of health services." Legislation in the Israeli state is very comprehensive regarding reproductive technology, ensuring that it is widely available."
