Most medical ethics guidelines around the world recommend a cut-off between 45 and 50 for treatments like IVF, and the Indian Medical Council sets 45 as the recommended age limit. Across the United States and most parts of western Europe, insurance companies usually stop paying for IVF treatment after 45.

An overwhelming majority of Americans say in-vitro fertilization treatment should be legal, according to a new poll

The CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday showed 86% of respondents in the U.S. support keeping IVF legal for women.

Fourteen percent said it should not be legal.

A recent Axios/Ipsos poll found roughly 66% of Americans disagreed with the Alabama ruling.

The ruling did not outlaw IVF, but fertility experts warned the change could make the process more expensive and limited accessibility.
