The Orange County Register's investigations into these practices, which involved the misuse of human embryos and the harvesting-and-transplanting of human eggs without patient consent, led to that paper's receiving the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting, and were the catalyst in several regulatory reforms. Additional recommended knowledgeDr. Asch was subsequently forced to resign from the clinic, which has since closed; he later moved to Mexico to avoid prosecution, and has resumed his work in in vitro fertilization. |
