Abstract
Nineteen eighty-four witnessed significant scientific and societal developments in noncoital human reproduction. On the scientific side, the year saw the first birth from surrogate embryo transfer (SET)1 and the first birth from a frozen embryo.2 On the societal side, the year saw reports by government-appointed panels on noncoital reproduction in the United Kingdom (the Warnock Report)3 and Australia (the Waller Report),4 and Congressional hearings on the subject in the United States.5
