    The first benefit is to prevent or minimize a decrease in future fertility. By preventing this avoidable decrease, that child is given to the opportunity to make future reproductive choices. Failing to offer fertility preservation deprives the child of a choice that he or she would have otherwise had. The second benefit is the demonstration of concern for the child’s future fertility. Undergoing a fertility preservation procedure is no guarantee that the patient will become a parent to a baby who is genetically related to him or her. However, the attempt to preserve the child’s fertility demonstrates the parents’ and clinicians’ concern for the child’s future reproductive choices. These significant benefits justify a presumption in favor of attempting fertility preservation, assuming that there are effective and established techniques…

    Most people would go the religious way and say that if you can’t have children, then you shouldn’t because God has a different path for you. They could even argue about the cost of IVF. In the time and money you put into the treatment you could’ve gone and adopted a child. IVF is incredibly expense and to pay for it isn’t possible for most Americans. Some insurance companies won’t cover the procedure because of the amount of loopholes in laws that let them off and hurt the public. Many parents that go through this with their children could end up with birth defects. Many scientific studies show that there are more birth defects in children who are born from IVF than normal babies. The birth defects range anywhere from cardiac defects, to cleft lip, to gastrointestinal defects, to cancer of the eye. Even though IVF can help people have children there are many risks. The mother could have the baby prematurely or a low birth weight. The mother could also end up with ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome. This is when the ovaries become swollen and painful; it could lead to rapid weight gain and shortness of breath. It could also lead to a miscarriage, many birth defects, ovarian cancer, and more (Mayo Clinic Staff).…

    In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the assisted reproduction technology techniques. It allows couples to overcome fertility problems. Male and female infertility are among the major barriers for couples that want children. Depending on the definition of infertility, the number of infertile couples worldwide may vary from 48.5 million to 72.4 million (Mascarenhas et al. 9). Among other assisted reproduction technology techniques aimed at reaching pregnancy, IVF shows the highest effectiveness rate. According to Van Voorhis, in 2003 there were more than 100,000 IVF cycles in the USA, almost half of which were successful (379). Although the IVF procedure has some disadvantages, it is a major step in overcoming some fertility problems.…

    Infertility, or sterility, is the inability to produce offspring or the inability to conceive. Although the majority of American men and women assume that they will mature, fall in love, and create children of their own, the rate of fertility continues to decrease over the years, and the American dream of becoming a parent does not always become a reality. Although some men and women are complacent with adoption or an egg/sperm donation, others who plan for a child of their own consider infertility as a major devastation. Research has shown that over thirty percent of women in America experience complications with fertility and fourteen percent of all clinically recognized pregnancies in America result in a miscarriage or stillbirth (Schwerdtfeger). However, fertility is not just a concern for females. For centuries, if a couple were unable to have children, the fault was put on the women, although we now know that both men and women suffer equally from fertility complications. Among couples who are infertile, about forty percent of cases are exclusively due to female infertility, forty percent to male infertility and ten percent involving problems with both partners (McArthur). The factor of not being able to produce offspring is a hard concept to endure for both genders, and can result in severe emotional issues that can be sustained for an extended period of time. The effects of being infertile can take a severe toll on one’s relationship with family, friends, and most commonly, their significant other.…

    The options available for those dealing with infertility problems include artificial insemination, a surrogate mother, assisted reproductive technology; in vitro fertilization, zygote intrafallopian transfer, and gamete intrafallopian transfer. Each option is different from the other and each can be complex. Also, the options do not guarantee a resolution to infertility problems. Of the options listed, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) encounters legal, ethical, and personal dilemmas. Many people choose to use ART because their attempts to have children on their own have proven to be impossible. Legal and ethical issues arise when the extra embryos that result from ART are put up for adoption or given to another woman. Women in countries…

    Henig (2004), a poll in 1969 showed that about 50% of American adults believed that IVF was against God’s will and would encourage proximity. Louise brown therefore served as a proof that the process of IVF could indeed produce healthy children and an estimate of 1 million babies have been conceived using the IVF method. Although widely accepted, religious protesters still see the process as ‘playing God’ and should not be thought of as a means of conception. Some also believe that producing children artificially could also lead to some deficiencies in the children and they might be more prone to diseases or might not be as mentally stable as naturally conceived children. A study was conducted by Ceelen.M (et al, 2007) to investigate the difference between IVF children and naturally born children. The results stated that IVF children have a defective body fat composition although it was also said that more research was needed in order to arrive at a valid conclusion. Despite the concerns, the IVF process has become an alternative most people now agree on and the number of artificially conceived children is rising steadily even though the success rates of IVF conception is far less than what is…

    Infertility is a growing women’s health issue in Canada. In 1984 5.4% of Canadian couples reported fertility problems, by 2010 that number had increased to 16% (Bushnik, Cook, Yuzpe, Tough, & Collins, 2012). Today infertility is defined using the biomedical definition which classifies infertility as “a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.” (World Health Organization, 2017).…

    Infertility is the fundamental lacking of the ability to conceive a baby, and both men and women can have this problem. Dr. Clark, our guest speaker in class pointed out that approximately 30% of men and women are infertile, while 25% of infertility cannot be explain by science yet. Because of that, infertility is no longer considered as a lifestyle problem but a disease instead. According to Dr. Clark, one of the options for the infertility patients today is the use of stem cell therapies to treat infertility, and one of the recent popular stem cell therapies is reproductive cloning. Reproduction cloning is a process to “produce” a next generation of “you” through somatic cell nuclear transfer. In my paper, I will argue that reproductive cloning is morally permissible because of its similarity to in-vitro fertilization. After that I will offer a counter argument suggest that it’s better to utilize limited amount of oocytes on a group of sickness rather than infertile people.…

    Infertility is a growing epidemic in today's society. It leaves many couples heartbroken with little to no hope of having a family of their own. If I was to be faced with infertility, I would consider any option there was to have a child. The one option that I could not accept would be artificial insemination, due to the method of using a donor sperm (p. 338). It would feel unnatural to me to have a child that is not a reflection of myself and donated by another person. The only way I could consider this option is if I had a donor from my family with the same qualities, for instances my brother, instead of a random person.…
