Abstract
Strategies for reducing the multiple pregnancies which increase perinatal m ortality and morbidity in women undergoing IVF are discussed. Elective sing le embryo transfer with the promise of subsequent transfer of frozen-thawed embryos would achieve the goal of a single healthy child as a result of IV F treatment. The urgent establishment of a definitive trial comparing elect ive single versus double embryo transfer is advocated.
