In vitro

A designer baby is a term for a human being who before birth underwent a biological screening process in a lab to determine that its chromosomes did not contain any genetic abnormalities and/or to evaluate for desirable biological phenotypes (BBC – Horizon, 2005). Moreover, the process is initiated when the mother undergoes fertility treatment to increase the eggs available for extraction which are then fertilized by the sperm of the father or elected suitor (BBC – Horizon, 2005). Subsequently,…

In the article Male pregnancy a real possibility, found at http://bioedge.org/ , they talk about the possibility of a biological male giving birth. Researchers have came to this conclusion because the University of Gothenburg in Sweden has successfully transplanted a womb in to a women. Then two years later the women gave birth to a healthy boy. If the procedure can be done on a female then, with some refinement, it could possibly be done on a male also. There is an ethical conflict with this.…

Using in-vitro methods, it diminishes the use of the mice and other rodents in the earlier stages of laboratory testing ("Science and Research"). Even more, in-vitro testing can replace testing on animals when it comes to extensive drug testing for large-scale pharmaceutical industry because of the “ease of culture for production, compared…

types can be in vivo or in vitro. In vitro models are models which look at cell culture. The easier way to look at in vitro models is by using the immortalized cell line. This can be a cancer cell or other cell which has been infused with a cancer cell while it continues to divide. Immortalized cell lines are beneficial because they reduce the need to obtain new cells since the cells continue to divide. Slice cultures is another example of a method used during in vitro research models. Slice…

Abstract Hip fractures configure an important public health issue and most common, serious musculo-skeletal injury to affect the elderly population. Hip fractures refer to a fracture occurring betweenthe edge of the femoral head and 5 cm below the lesser trochanter and this typ of fracteres are very painful and need immediateadequate analgesia. Approximately 80 000 hip fractures occur each year in the UK with an estimated annual associated cost of £2 billion. The annual burden of hip fractures…

percentage for a reason to not go through with in vitro, but what about all of the single birth cases? Most commonly a couple has a single birth. There have been very few instances where a single born child has grown up with disorders or cognitive problems. Some couples may also be worried about miscarriage. This is a struggle and worry with all couples who are pregnant with children. A miscarriage can happen in any woman for any certain reason. In vitro does not affect the rate of…

Is Not Failure,” Holly Gregg explains how for three years she and her husband tired to have a child. They were faced with the reality that they could not have children. The only way they were going to have a child was through in vitro fertilization. Some people view in vitro fertilization as unethical and wrong for couples who are infertile, but…

For example, a variety of body systems can be tested in vitro such as ears, eyes, tongues, and several other types of cells for scientists to examine (Abbott 1). The different cells could replace the need of a live animal. Including cells, various other types of material can be produced in these labs, making it possible to experiment on whole tissues and microbes as well. The versatility of in vitro approach is very appealing to pharmaceutical companies as well as the cosmetic…

The in vitro method uses plants, test tubes, microbes, or cell cultures to discover various results or reactions to products instead of testing it on an animal or to reduce the amount of animals used in testing. “In vitro methods, or the analysis of tissues kept alive outside a donor organism, which have applications to the production of vaccines, antitoxins, and…

has been catching more public eye attention though. While scientists continue to use animals for testing, more people are realizing that it shouldn’t be done and it is pointless. The reason this is pointless is because scientists are now using in vitro, animal testing takes too long to produce usable data, humans and animals do not…
