violent and inhumane; therefore‚ banning surrogate motherhood eliminates unethical treatment of women. “In Vitro Fertilization; a medical procedure performed where a sperm fertilizes an egg in a test tube” (Raymond 1).

Many think it’s only the women who are pregnant with the child can affect the child’s health but while researching this topic I have found that to be false. “When certain drugs enter the testicles through the bloodstream‚ a man’s sperm count is lowered and the sperm’s motility or ability to swim is diminished. Damaged sperm can cause a pregnancy to end in miscarriage. Drugs can interfere with reproduction by changing the process by which sperm are selected
