Issues of Vitro Fertilization
Did you know that every year there are thousands if not millions of babies born by In vitro Fertilization? IVF is a very important procedure to some individuals, in- vitro fertilization is the only ideal way that some individuals can conceive and did you know that there are many individuals who may have obstacles on conceiving on their own and may need an alternate route.
In vitro fertilization was first successful in 1978 by an English physiologist and pioneer named Sir Robert Geoffrey Edwards and his co- developer Mr. Patrick Steptoe. Mr. Edward …show more content…
and Mr. Steptoe first successful attempt resulted into a test tube baby. Over the centuries Intro vitro fertilization has became very popular in this day of age. There are millions if not thousands of individuals who have a hard time conceiving on their own due to medical stimulations turn to In Vitro Fertilization to help with the process of hoping to become parents.
In today’s society there are a lot of negative and positive views on the procedure.
In vitro fertilization has given hope to many of couples facing infertility; it has also countless ethical, legal, and social challenges. In my opinion, I believe that there are positive and negative aspects to in vitro fertilization. I find that I am in an agreement with trying to find suitable sources for individuals to become parents but at the same time I think that the risks, procedures, and socialism be looked at also when considering this procedure. I also feel like my personal ethics and morals may be opposed to others because some may be against the technology either way rather if was benefiting to ones desires and needs or not. My whole philosophy on trying to strengthen the ethical and morals is for others to think about what it’s like to want to be a parent but you have a barrier keeping you from the most amazing part of your life.

conceive.
Today, there are a lot of questions whether in vitro fertilization is safe and is ethical, and whether or not the laws are implicated and applied and being followed, and also the social and medical outlook of the embryo and the mother. The future of IVF will depend on whether research is allowed and what types of studies are permitted.
First, there have been a lot of studies to see just how much an embryo is affected and handled during the whole process.
There are also many complications that are tied into in vitro complication. Some of the complications may include multiple births, the spread of infectious disease, birth defects. These complications can lead to long term damage and can also be very risky. Also with the spreading of infectious diseases it can cross over to the mother’s embryo and cause a chronic disease in the mother and unborn. The increased risk of birth defects associated with IVF was no longer significant after adjustment for parental factors.
