Israel offers nearly full funding for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to any Israeli woman irrespective of her marital status or sexual orientation, until she has two children with her current partner. Consequently, Israeli women are the world’s most intensive consumers of IVF. This 2006 study explored the perceptions of Israeli IVF patients about the treatment and their experiences, probing possible links between state policy and women’s choices and health. Israeli women (n=137), all currently undergoing IVF, were invited to fill out questionnaires. The questionnaires were delivered in five IVF centres by university nursing students or by the clinics’ nurses. Most women were optimistic they would become pregnant, and described the treatment as having modest or no negative effects on their lives. They expressed a sweeping commitment to IVF, which they were willing to repeat “as many times as needed”. At the same time, the majority appeared to have very partial treatment-related knowledge and marginalised side effects, even though they had experienced some themselves. We interpret the observed favourable image of IVF as closely related to the encouragement implied in the extensive state funding of IVF and in the Jewish Israeli tradition of pronatalism, which may account for the virtual absence of critical public debate on the subject.RésuméIsraël prend presque totalement en charge le financement de la fécondation in vitro (FIV) pour toute Israélienne, quel que soit son état civil ou son orientation sexuelle, jusqu’à ce qu’elle ait deux enfants avec son partenaire actuel. Par conséquent, les Israéliennes sont les plus fortes consommatrices de FIV au monde. Cette étude de 2006 a exploré leurs perceptions de la FIV et leurs expériences, testant des liens possibles de la politique étatique avec les choix et la santé des femmes. Des Israéliennes (n=137), qui effectuaient toutes une FIV, ont été invitées à remplir un questionnaire. Ce questionnaire a été remis dans cinq centres de FIV par des étudiants en soins infirmiers ou des infirmières du centre. La plupart des femmes étaient optimistes et pensaient qu’elles finiraient par tomber enceintes, et décrivaient le traitement comme ayant peu ou pas d’effets négatifs sur leur vie. Elles se déclaraient extrêmement favorables à la FIV, qu’elles souhaitaient répéter « autant de fois que nécessaire ». En même temps, la majorité d’entre elles semblaient avoir des connaissances très partielles du traitement et des effets secondaires, même si elles en avaient fait elles-mêmes l’expérience. Nous pensons que l’image favorable de la FIV est étroitement liée à l’encouragement implicite que suppose le large financement étatique de la FIV et à la tradition nataliste juive israélienne, qui peut expliquer l’absence quasi-totale de débat public critique sur le sujet.ResumenEn Israel se ofrece casi todo el financiamiento necesario para la fertilización in vitro (FIV) a toda mujer israelí, independientemente de su estado civil u orientación sexual, hasta que tenga dos hijos con su pareja actual. Por consiguiente, las mujeres israelíes son las usuarias más intensas del mundo de FIV. En este estudio de 2006 se exploraron las percepciones de pacientes israelíes de FIV respecto al tratamiento y sus experiencias, y se indagó en cuanto a los posibles vínculos entre la política estatal y las opciones de las mujeres y la salud. Se invitó a las mujeres israelíes (n=137), todas ellas sometiéndose actualmente a la FIV, a llenar los cuestionarios. Estos fueron entregados a cinco centros de FIV por estudiantes universitarios de enfermería o por las enfermeras de las clínicas. La mayoría de las mujeres eran optimistas de que quedarían embarazadas, e informaron que el tratamiento tuvo un efecto moderado o ningún efecto negativo en su vida. Expresaron un amplio compromiso a la FIV, que estaban dispuestas a repetir “todas las veces que fuera necesario”. Al mismo tiempo, la mayoría parecía tener un conocimiento muy parcial del tratamiento y efectos secundarios marginados, aunque ellas mismas habían experimentado algunos. Interpretamos la imagen favorable de la FIV como algo estrechamente relacionado con la motivación implicada en el extenso financiamiento estatal de la FIV y en la tradición israelí judía de pronatalidad, que explicaría la virtual ausencia de debate público crítico al respecto
