In vitro fertilization twins: acceptable when desired, or iatrogenic complication preventable through elective single embryo transfer?

Her wrenching account should be required reading for any IVF provider who allows transfer of two embryos outside of Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) guidelines.
