Embryo transfer

Genu varum is a condition that causes the lower leg to angle medially and produce an outward appearance at the knee. It can cause one or both legs to form a slightly visible projection that creates an image similar to an archer’s bow, therefore the term “bowlegged” is often used. Every baby is born bowlegged because of the way they sit in the womb, although it does not become noticeable until the early stages of walking. This is considered normal until 18 months of age, but usually by the time a…

Richard Hays and Ronald Green differs in many ways. Richard only passingly mentioned the benefits of Genomic Science and put more emphasis and provided more examples of the risks. He use words and sentences that appeals to our fear. He is concern of human’s inability to stop pushing the line. “Once we begin genetically modifying our children, where do we stop? If it's acceptable to modify one gene, why not two, or 20 or 200? At what point do children become artifacts designed to someone's…

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a method used prior to implantation to help identify genetic defects within embryos created through in vitro fertilization. This procedure is used to help prevent particular diseases or disorders from being passed on to the infant (American Pregnancy Association). Science cannot only help couples that are unable to have babies, but it can help them have babies they want. However, where should the line be drawn for modern reproductive medicine? (Kalb…

Some fundamental ethical issues which include a woman's right to autonomy, the rights of the fetus or future child, the moral obligations of the pregnant women, and the physician's moral and professional obligations to pregnant woman as well as the fetus. So, how to best approach these challenging issues-- what are some ethical frameworks and strategies? Listed is a few but note that these are not all-inclusive, but some of the most well-known and used. First, principle based ethics. These are…

eye colour of your baby and it will have an 80% success rate. How does designer babies work? First scientists create an embryo using In-vitro fertilization, which is also known as IVF. Then within the first 5 days when it’s created they remove one cell from the embryo, after that they genetically test the cell and the parents decide whether or not they want to insert the embryo…

accesses to the public. Gender section is a treatment which involves preliminary fertility to help the woman grow more eggs. These are then extracted from the womb and fertilized with her partner’s sperm. After that they choose the embryos that they want. After they pick the embryos, which they wanted it goes back to the womb. 2 to 3 weeks later the woman many are fertility’s and could get pregnant 99.9 per cent chance that it is the gender you wanted (Cornwill, 2014). The issue that people…

Embryonic stem cells have the ability to multiply and replace diseased cells. They can be changed to have properties of different cells. However, these embryos have the potential to grow into human beings, and by extracting them for their stem cells, scientists destroy the embryo. Scientist’s ultimate goal may be to help people, but hundreds of embryos are destroyed on the way to finding these cures. Although embryonic stem cell research has been shown to have great medical potential, there…

What are the relevant clinical, social, cultural and/or other facts? Renee has already had a miscarriage and was happy to be pregnant again. Even though there is no record of genetic counseling in her health record, Renee believes she has received enough information about Down syndrome to decide to terminate her pregnancy. Taylor is still a medical student with limited experience in the abortion clinic. Taylor has to decide between voicing her concerns or staying quiet and assume Renee and…

Romeo, Romeo is a really interesting documentary that showed me a side of having a baby and what couples have to go through whether they are straight or not, who are unable to conceive on their own. Lexy dreamt of having a baby and experience what motherhood has to bring and Jess changed her mind once she met Lexy. I really feel for this couple because they are so in love and they really want to have a baby, but because of how babies are born and how biology works, sperm is needed. Because…

Views today demonstrate a viable twin gestation at 16 weeks 2 days. Twin A: Maternal left, inferior, vertex presentation with posterior placenta. Fetal biometry appears symmetric and corresponds with stated EDD. Due to early gestational age detailed fetal anatomy was not assessed but is notable for symmetric choroids, intact ventral wall, visualization of stomach, bladder, and male genitalia. Amniotic fluid volume measures normally by MVP. Twin B: Maternal right, superior, transverse,…
