Oncofertility: ethical, legal, social, and medical perspectives

The Oncofertility Consortium, an interdisciplinary group of researchers and clinicians, is dedicated to improving fertility preservation options for cancerpatients. Invited by the Consortium, social science scholars immerse themselves in two days of intense discussion and debate, listening to presentations provided by scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds including the basic sciences, clinicians, religion, law, communications, and economics. The development of novel fertility preservation procedures will undoubtedly have a meaningful impact on society; gathering leading social scientists together annually to discuss these potential implications helps to better prepare clinicians and researchers alike to the real-world perspectives they will likely encounter if the technology is successful. Now entering its second year, summit attendees were invited to present their own research and ruminations during this year’s program. These brief presentations were used as a platform from which to producea book chapter to be included in this peer-reviewed publication with a similar name as the summit, 'Oncofertility: Perspectives from the Humanities, SocialSciences and the Law.' The target audience for 'Oncofertility: Ethical, Legal, Social, and Medical Perspectives' is a large interdisciplinary population ofclinicians, researchers, legal, ethical, and religious scholars.
