Compassionate transfer: patient requests for embryo transfer for nonreproductive purposes: an Ethics Committee opinion.

Compassionate transfer refers to patient requests to transfer embryos into their bodies in a location or at a time when pregnancy is not expected to occur and reflects their personal preferences and values. It is ethical for physicians to honor or decline such requests if they do so in a nondiscriminatory and unbiased manner.
