I have just this article about the increased chance of autism instances in births that occur through the use of ferility treatments. A study in the US came up with some alarming results with the tests they carried out with the help of 4000 patients. The study concluded that women who used ferility treatments such as IVF were 4 time more likely to give birth to a child who would develop autism.

ADHD, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, seizures and cancer risks were all increased using these treatments. Click the link below to read the full article.

Sure is a scary thought.
