To provide another cycle, retrieval, tranfer and storage as "encoragement" for agreeing to an eSET would be like guaranteeing the whole cycle and would be more than we could be able to provide. But I think you are on the right track. Arthur L. Wisot, M. D. Reproductive Partners Medical Group, Inc. Redondo Beach, California Thanks for your ideas.
