There must be a reason behind Centre imposing age limit for IVF: HC

MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday observed that the age limit prescribed by the central government for undergoing In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) “must have a reason behind it”, as it heard a plea by a couple seeking permission to proceed with the treatment despite the man having crossed the statutory age bar of 55 in October.

A division bench of justices Riyaz Chagla and Farhan Dubash directed the couple to amend their petition and specify whether they want to proceed with the treatment using the husbandS sperm or opt for a donor.
