Abstract
This chapter examines the unique aspects of informed consent to reproductive therapy. It discusses the significance of the informed consent process for this patients’ population, as the core of patient-centered care. Professionals’ and patients’ perception of the process are reviewed, as well as relevant case law. Further, the issues that are most important for patients are revealed, and some guidance is given accordingly as to the information on which emphasis should be put and to the decision points toward which it should be explained and discussed with the patients.
