Abstract

This chapter examines some of the ethical concerns that arise in the interdisciplinary field of oncofertility. Specifically, I will address three commonly asked ethical questions: (1) Who should be offered fertility preservation? (2) Who should pay for fertility preservation? and (3) How should disputes over frozen gametes, embryos, and gonadal tissue (collectively referred to as reproductive material) be resolved and prevented? Unfortunately, there are not always easy and universal answers to these questions. As with other aspects of patient care, we need to consider each patient and make a case-by-case judgment.
