Pontifical Academy for Life General Assembly focuses on infertility

The Pontifical Academy for Life is holding its 18^th General Assembly. The theme for this year is the Diagnosis and Treatment of Infertility. A workshop was held in the Vatican Friday looking at the causes and management of infertility. “The news (regarding infertility) is very positive”, says Dr Felice Petraglia who is Professor and Chair of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Siena.

He told Lydia O’Kane that “what we would like to start from today is to have a public, to publicly say to the people, the patients please go and do first some examinations before to do any other approach because this is respecting our religion."

Participants of the Assembly will meet Pope Benedict on Saturday. Listen
