    闖出一條生路：台灣試管嬰兒之父曾啟瑞醫師零與一百的生命哲學
    By 曾啟瑞

    生命是創造出來的！為什麼不孕症患者愈來愈多？不想生？還是「生不出來」？台灣不孕症權威、試管嬰兒之父—曾啟瑞醫師行醫30年集成大作，為您揭開「生的奧秘」！借助嶄新的生殖醫學、突破不孕的層層阻礙帶您「闖出一條生路」！ 不孕症非同一般疾病，多少能藉治療獲得改善。不孕症治療，不是百分之百成功，就是徹底失敗；在0與100之間，絕無中間地帶。 被譽為台灣不孕症權威曾啟瑞醫師，屏東鄉下長大，在美國哈佛大學接觸生殖醫學。30年前，生殖醫學還是冷僻的學門，曾啟瑞醫師毅然決然選擇走上這一條人煙罕至的道路、踏實行醫。從事生殖醫學必須懷有極大的耐性、專業技術和追求完美的性格，才能將之視為職志。 曾醫師行醫30年，終於走出一條自己的「醫道」，他以身作則，以「做第一流醫生，比第一名醫生更重要」為志。《闖出一條生路》集結曾醫師多年來在醫學崗位上，造福不孕夫妻的臨床經驗，要和讀者分享「生殖的奧秘」。恰如不孕症患者的「求生」之路，必須克服重重險阻，才能開創生機，讓精與卵藉由醫療的「轉機」相遇，碰撞出生命的奇蹟。 本書更要為您揭開：台灣第一例試管嬰兒誕生的秘辛，看我國生殖醫學如何在曾教授的帶領下傲視國際、領先群倫！ 20個「好孕Q&A」，帶不孕症患者「闖出一條生路」 ◎什麼是不孕症？ 一對男女擁有正常性生活，在沒有任何避孕措施下，經過一年「努力做人」仍無法懷孕，就有不孕症的疑慮。 ◎你／妳是不孕症的高危險群嗎？ 除了男女先天的缺陷之外，不當的生活習慣，如飲食、壓力，甚至是環境汙染等問題，都很有可能導致不孕症。 ◎難纏的子宮內膜異位症！ 正常情況下，子宮內膜剝落會隨月經排出體。但當子宮內膜經由輸卵管跑到卵巢、子宮薦骨韌帶等其他不該出現的地方時，就成了婦科疾病中最不容易治癒的疾病──子宮內膜異位症。若無妥善治療，受孕可能性極低。 ◎衰老的卵子還有用嗎？ 女性年過四十後，卵子也會慢慢衰老，影響受孕機率。曾醫師自創的「自體顆粒細胞粒線體轉殖技術」獨步全球，這項嶄新的醫療技術可幫卵子「充電」，讓卵子重新活起來，增加懷孕機會。 ◎時間、金錢、效率如何兼顧？ 不孕症治療過程是一場和時間賽跑的比賽，「人工授孕」、「試管嬰兒」是和上天爭取機會最有力的手段。但漫長的療程對病患及親屬來說，身心都是煎熬。本書要助您預先體認相關療程，藉此評估自身。本書特色 1、 不孕症權威教你如何面對不孕症問題︰ 擺脫偏見的桎梏，不孕症無法歸咎男、女方個人，而是雙方必須共同面對的課題。本書是所有育齡夫婦必備的「求生」指南，透過曾醫師最專業的醫學見解及問答諮詢，要讓您揮別不孕，「絕處逢生」。 2、 醫療與政策併行︰ 不孕症醫療在道德、倫理上，牽扯層面甚廣。「代理孕母」在我國可行嗎？「試管嬰兒」植入的胚胎數多寡為什麼須有規範？鼓勵生育，什麼樣的補助最有效？曾醫師要從醫學專業出發，為不孕症族群發聲、為我國少子化問題提出建言。 3、 視病猶親的關懷︰ 曾醫師被譽為台灣試管嬰兒之父，書中分享他的理念「做第一流醫生」比「第一名醫生」更重要。從他的專業知識，不孕症夫妻更不用冒著誤判的危險，靠網搜看病抓藥。透過本書就能初步了解自己，再進一步尋求專業醫療。 4、 台灣醫療的傲人成就︰ 台灣的醫療水準在國際間享譽盛名，試管嬰兒著床率居世界第二。這樣的理想環境下，非常適合打造一座「亞洲旗艦型生殖醫學中心」。在實踐社會責任與醫者核心價值的前提下，除了為不孕症患者實現「傳宗接代」的使命外，在不孕症醫療領域上注入新血、培育年輕的醫療生力軍，也是一項重要的傳承。各界推薦 毛治國（前行政院長） 李大華（廣播節目主持人）...
