These short term symptoms are things that women worldwide experience monthly. “The most immediate serious risk from ovarian stimulation is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome(OHSS)...Symptoms of mild forms of OHSS include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal distention. These symptoms may persist or worsen over time to include rapid weight gain, accumulation of serous fluid in the spaces tissues and Organs”(Beeson, Diane and Abby Lippman. "Egg Harvesting for Stem Cell Research: Medical Risks and Ethical Problems." Reproductive Biomedicine Online (Reproductive Healthcare Limited), vol. 13, no. 4, Oct. 2006). Though that may seem manageable and not out of the norms when it comes to the long term symptoms that is where the law comes in to regulate. “As Suzanne Parisian (2005), former Chief Medical Officer of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), explains, 'Pharmaceutical firms have not been required by either the government or physicians to collect safety data for IVF drugs regarding risk of cancer or other serious health conditions despite the drugs having been available in the United States for several decades.' One drug commonly used in the first phase of egg harvesting, Lupron (leuprolide acetate), has not been approved for this purpose, but rather is used 'off label.' Another drug, Antagon, has been approved for such use, but no data are available on its …show more content…
The achievements section discusses what the development of stem cell research and how was the development and not morally achieved. Planned parenthood supported cell research by donating the bodies of aborted babies and egg harvesting. In the last century stem cell research has advanced greatly both legally and Illegally. The scientist have cloned anything from a rat to monkeys. Starting small with a rat and working their way up to monkey has been a big advancement, but the issue is that the cloned monkeys never make it to a mature age due to complications. With monkey’s being the closest species to human scientist know that it will not work. So, to try and understand the human makeup better scientist tried using the embryos of dead human babies. All they need was the consent of the embryo’s mother and they had full access to the destruction of the human embryo. Sounds disgusting and inhumane right? Well, it is and everyone one including the government
