Having a child is more difficult for some than for others. The biology of the human body is different for everyone, and our environment can also play a role in the development and functioning of the reproductive system. The infertility rate of Canadians has almost doubled in the last 20 years, according to the latest statistics. But what is infertility and how can science help us solve this problem?
The Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) invites you to join a discussion with experts in the field of human reproduction. This is your opportunity to learn about the secrets of medically assisted procreation and to better understand what contributes to the difficulties with conceiving a baby. You will also learn about the latest advances in national and international research. Come one, come all!
WHEN: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
WHERE: Monument National, 1182 St-Laurent (St Laurent or Place-d’Armes Metro Station)
