Ethical issues can arise in terms of methodology, research implementation, and practical aspects of community-based research. This talk will introduce ethical issues related to communities/stakeholders, research participants, and professional relationships with illustrations from case studies and an introduction to useful resources.

An estimated 20% of American couples use infertility services to help them conceive, and that number is growing. Prospective parents routinely choose the sex of their future child, whether or not to have twins, or whether or not to pass on certain genes to the next generation, including those for chronic diseases. Yet the ART industry is largely unregulated, creating a “wild West”, that bodes poorly for our ability to oversee use of ever-newer technologies, including possible use of CRISPR in the near future. These rapidly developing technologies raise profound ethical, social and policy issues that Klitzman will explore.
