In vitro

actually touching anything, the possibility of infection is greatly reduced. However, not all innovations are this simple and evidently beneficial for all without creating uneasiness amongst different stakeholders in society. Let’s take for examples, In vitro fertilization (IVF) and anti-aging mechanisms (AM). IVF is the joining of a woman 's egg and a man 's sperm in a laboratory dish. It is usually a five (5) step process. The steps are; stimulation, egg retrieval, insemination and…

they feel shame and embarrassment and don’t want anyone to know they are having trouble conceiving naturally (Marturana, 2016). The thought of seeking help is something hard to bring up and talk about. Options like adoption, surrogacy, sperm banks, vitro fertilization and other…

Introduction Designer babies used to be something that was only in science fiction books, but now, scientists are very close to being able to create them. There are many unknowns with designer babies such as will they be used to create healthier babies only, or will everything be about making the “perfect” looking baby. That is just one example of many. However, what could possibly be one of the most harmful consequences of designer babies is a reduced gene pool that could be caused by the…

The field of bioethics provides some answers to the question. Bioethics is defined as a field of study concerned with the ethical and philosophical implications of certain biological and medical procedures, technologies, and treatments, as organ transplants, genetic engineering, and care of the terminally ill. Specifically, in medicine, it deals with the ethical and moral implications of new biological discoveries and biomedical advances, as in the fields of genetic engineering and drug research…

This process is called in-vitro fertilization and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. IVF is the process women go through to scan their embryos for diseases. The way this process works is doctors take a three-day-old embryo and pull cells from it to test if it contains any genetic…

Pre-implementation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is just another one of these procedures where perfection can be achieved. Parents are using PGD to eradicate hereditary diseases such as Huntington’s and cystic fibrosis from their children on the genetic level via in-vitro fertilization (IVF). However, people are abusing this noble, scientific breakthrough and living by the motto, forget designer handbags… designer babies are the new trend! Humans should not be allowed to genetically modify or choose…

paper will focus on the objection that IVF is a frivolous luxury (Singer, 1987, p. 412-13). I will argue that IVF is not a frivolous luxury, couples have a right to reproduction and IVF is simply a method to combat infertility. IVF is short for in vitro fertilization which is a medical treatment for infertility. The process creates gametes in a lab that are later transferred into the uterus. Prior to the transfer the mother undergoes ovarian stimulation, then egg extraction, followed by…

The future of what citizens thought would be years from now, is now becoming today. The idea of determining the gender of a child has not always been an option. When technology was created to allow parents to choose their child’s sex is when the contention came about. Some believe sex selection is an appropriate choice. On the other hand, others think couples shouldn’t have the option because it’s experimental and messes with the course of natural selection. Either way, gender determination…

A Feministic View on Infertility Treatment “To be Infertile refers to an inability to conceive after having regular unprotected sex. Infertility can also refer to the biological inability of an individual to contribute to conception, or to a female who cannot carry a pregnancy to full term” (Nordquist). There are a number of reasons why women can have a hard time getting pregnant. Some of which include age, timing, problems in your cervix or uterus, ovaries that don 't release eggs regularly,…

is a widely accepted method for treating patients that suffer from infertility. There are many different methods to achieving a pregnancy through ART some being (ICIS) intracytoplasmic sperm injection, gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), and In vitro fertilization to name a few. Although the pregnancies themselves are much desired the outcome of multiple fetuses is not. In order to resolve this iatrogenic problem doctors use fetal reduction as a solution. Because of the occurrence of…
