Abstract
This chapter details a successful method for obtaining highly motile spermatozoa from human semen for in vitro fertilization. Background studies, areas of uncertainty which require further investigation and the possibility of using IVF as a method of treatment for infertility due to poor semen quality are also mentioned.
