Extend Fertility Case Study

Decent Essays
I personally believe that Extend Fertility is offering a amazing thing women all over. As a young woman myself I know that there is a ticking clock on having an healthy pregnancy and healthy children and it has always been my understanding that the longer you wait to have children the harder it will be to carry them an after reading this case I understand it is because of the fact that the eggs of older women tend to of a lower quality. This fact causes many women to ask themselves at a young age “Do I want a career?” or “Do I want a baby?”, because unfortunately it is harder for women in the work place to advance if they have children. But, Extend Fertility allows women to choose both and I think that reason is why this business will succeed. However the one ethical concern with egg freezing is the cost. While for many this is an elective procedure for some women it is their only chance at having children. For instance, doctors often recommend to their cancer patients who are about to undergo chemotherapy treatment to consider the possibility of freezing eggs because the chemotherapy frequently results in early menopause. Women who are in this predicament are already spending so much money on their cancer treatment that they quite possibly will have to decide against freezing their eggs and face the possibility that they will never have biological children.

This concept while may have been influenced by other things on the market it was one of its own. The ide of freezing your eggs for a later date just because you were not ready is something that would not have been done in 20 years ago. Now women can decided when they want to have children and not have to worry about carrying a baby to full term, difficulties getting pregnant or having to turn to using donor eggs to carry a healthy full term baby. The commercialization of egg freezing has revolutionized reproduction for women in todays

Dr. Edwin Carl Wood was named ‘‘the Father of IVF’’ for pioneering the use of frozen embryos (Kovacs & Leeton, 2011).

    This was promoted by, Margaret Sanger. A quote by Margaret states that every woman should have a decision of how many children she wants, “Woman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man 's attitude may be, that problem is hers - and before it can be his, it is hers alone.” And for that point, is why the birth control was so popular in the 1920’s because now the women had a choice whether they wanted kids or…

    However, abortion and birth control are not only the issues in reproductive rights. A new layer in the discussion of reproductive rights that evolve with the development of technology is surrounding surrogacy and the picking and choosing of certain traits. The Assisted Human Reproduction Act deals with this very new phenomenon and bans the fabrication of human embryos for research, creation of human and non-human hybrids, the alteration of human DNA. In more detail the act as Sullivan suggests, “distinguishes between two kinds of embryos: "reproductive embryos," which qualify as almost human life and cannot therefore be bought and sold, and "replicative embryos," whose potentiality is not in producing life but in producing health benefits and which may therefore be inserted into a system of economic exchange” (cite). Additions to the movement of reproductive justice such as these exposes that even with the progress that has occurred from earlier generations, there is more discussion that needs to happen and advances that need to be made.…

    Women have long been battling reproductive rights for decades, and they still are today. In regards to such rights includes the controversy of reproduction options for those who cannot have children of their own. As these difficulties arose came solutions where technological innovations led to the development of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and surrogate mothering, and were giving want-to-be parents the biological children they thought they could never have. In the article, Surrogate Mothering: Exploitation or Empowerment?, Laura M. Purdy discusses the various moral perspectives of surrogacy mothering, as well as the benefits and costs of this practice. Surrogacy mothering is the procedure where “a woman is inseminated with the sperm of a…

    Throughout this group project I have learned a lot about birth control that I did not know before. Being a woman in our society that has access to reproductive health information from my doctor, I never thought of birth control as hard to obtain or learn about. After researching about the different types of birth control and their histories I was able to learn that access to birth control has not always been easy. There are many types of birth controls that people do not know about or just do not consider to be “birth control.” Researching about these types of birth control allows me to have more knowledge on something that all women and men should know.…
