Adoption over IN-VERTO FERTILIZATION “There are roughly four hundred thousand children in the US foster care system. Of those children‚ approximately one hundred thousand are waiting to be adopted” (Developmental Issues for Young Children in Foster Care‚ 2000). Many people feel as if life is meaningless without the gift of becoming a parent. Before they consider adopting a child‚ many couples undergo infertility treatments‚ such as in-vitro fertilization. Some people are successful‚ but numerous

In Vitro Fertilization‚ also known as IVF‚ is a complex series of procedures used to treat fertility or genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child. During IVF‚ mature eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. In whole‚ In Vitro Fertilization can be undertaken in an ethical manner that maintains respect for human life. The IVF process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman’s ovulatory process‚ in which you remove an ovum (egg) from the ovaries and let

Chang’s discovery was seminal‚ as it clearly demonstrated that oocytes fertilized in vitro were capable of developing‚ if transferred into the uterus and thereby produce live young. The first pregnancy achieved through in vitro human fertilization of a human oocyte was reported in The Lancet by the Monash University team in 1973‚ although

The number of children conceived through in vitro fertilization has doubled over the last decade. The technology that has made these children possible has also challenged inheritance laws‚ especially in circumstances when a child is conceived after the death of a parent. While this may sound bizarre‚ posthumously conceived children can become a quandary for the rich and the not-so-rich alike. The problem is always about money. The rich worry about who will get their assets after they are dead‚ while

highlight extreme cases where policy could have been utilized in order to avoid the situation. Such is the case of Natalie Suleman‚ more known as the “Octomom”. Ms. Suleman utilized assistive reproductive technology (ART)‚ in her case‚ in vitro fertilization (IVF) in order to bring to term 8 babies. While it is always the woman’s choice whether or not to undergo procedures like IVF‚ I would recommend nation-wide regulations regarding the number of embryos (one for women under 35) that

According to Johnson (2009)‚ ‘designer baby’ is defined as the baby whose genetically makeup has been artificially selected through In-vitro Fertilization to ensure the presence and absence of particular genes or characteristic. Johnson (2009) also claimed that genetic screening can reduce the baby’s

features that people would like their child to obtain‚ this is something that would happen in choosing designer babies. In In-Vitro Fertilization‚ embryos can be chosen and also observed for any disease that might be there. By using karyomapping‚ it allows the doctors to find any genetic defect in the embryo. These are ways that society has innovated the reproductive process. Innovations in technology have led to advances in society‚ but has the line of nature been crossed.
