Test-tube babies for N.Z.
A test-tube baby service should be available in New Zealand, the Nurses’ Society has said. The society’s national director, Mr D. J. Wills, said it believed facilities for "invitro” fertilisation were needed, after canvassing society members on the question. The National Women’s Hospital was the first option for such a service but if an approach by the society to the Auckland Hospital Board failed, Christchurch Women’s Hospital was the next preferred site. It was wrong for such a service to be available only to those able to handle the cost of going overseas for treatment, Mr Wills said. An in-vitro fertilisation service set up in a main New Zealand hospital would cost only about $lOO,OOO a year, he said.
