I just wanted to thank you for your support! It's not even 18 hours, and we have over 130 signatures so far for our petition. Please keep spreading the word! We need them to hear us be very loud and very clear. Eroding the standards of our field IS NOT THE ANSWER, we haven't even agreed on what the problem (if any) there is yet!
Embryology is certainly a complex procedure, we need to have the highest standards, not lower the bar. We are literally creating human beings in our labs and they want to erode the standards of our field. Our patients deserve better, this is going to affect patient safety. I will keep you updated on our progress in this fight! PLEASE also email ABB at abb@abbcert.org and ASRM at asrm@asrm.org and SART at sart@asrm.org . ASRM and SART HAVE ALREADY APPROVED THIS PROPOSAL. ABB will be voting on the ALREADY PROPOSED INITIATIVE VERY SHORTLY. We need them to hear our opposition. I will, of course, be forwarding the results of our petition, but they need to hear from you too.
Thank you for your support!
