HFEA consider tagging for Eggs and Sperm
There have been a number of IVF mix ups. Barcodes or electronic tags may be used to mark eggs, sperm and embryos and prevent IVF blunders.
Scientists are developing technology in which an alarm would sound if the wrong egg and sperm were placed too close to each other.
The idea is being considered by the UK’s fertility watchdog, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.
