IVF Negative Effects On Society

Everyone is entitled to choose their own lifestyle, whether they want to have a child or not. Some females who seek to have children find it easy, although some are unfortunate. There are numerous of reasonings, such as being too old to be pregnant, damage to the Fallopian tube or uterus and cancer radiation or chemotherapy. As our generation goes on, many discoveries revolving biology is produced and one of it is the In Vitro Fertilization or “IVF”. It is the procedure of fertilization where they save sperm sample, take an egg from the women and physically combining it in a laboratory dish where the egg and the sperm is now called an embryo. It will be examined, and later on transported to a substitute uterus of qualified women who are suitable

Through differences and similarities Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, shows the future for reproductive technologies. While this novel was written in the 1930’s, the ideas used in the book are actually used in the modern world. Reproductive technologies are used to treat infertility and increase reproduction in different ways and some are used as contraceptives. Through the use of modern reproductive technologies Huxley gives a more controversial view about the use them, some of the few that brought attention were the use of contraceptive pills, test-tube babies, and the process of in vitro fertilization.

“The longer you wait for something, the more you’ll appreciate it when you get it. Because anything worth having is definitely worth waiting for” (Unknown). What is worth waiting for? A family? Children? How far are you willing to go? How much are you willing to spend? What are you willing to go through? These are questions that couples ask themselves everyday. How far should you go to bring a baby into this world?

Imagine wanting to have a baby and not being able to conceive one. Invitrofertilization is the opportunity you've been waiting for it allows same sex couples and single women able to have their own biological children. Invitrofertilization is an emerging issue in the medical field due to infertility of couples, debatable stem cell research, the demanding process, and the outcome of these children. People who cannot conceive a child are not completely out of luck. They have a handful of options, their best option is invitrofertilization. Medical News Today stated “ Invitrofertilization is the most common and most effective type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) to help women become pregnant.”

For generations women have been the one’s to carry on the human species. At one time in history simply having children was a job. Women that are infertile may feel inferior to other women and although there is adoption wouldn’t you want a child that was technically your own? It is recommended to just choose a surrogate mother. The price for a surrogate mother currently be as much as triple the price of cloning.

The most significant strength from the case study is Jennifer’s perseverance to have a child that explores multiple options. Jennifer has made some great decisions in the past which focused on career, education, partnership, and finances. . Because Jennifer has taken her time with focusing on the important things in her life. I would build strength by empowering her to continue to seek out options as well as building a supportive network of people that can understand her frustrations about infertility.

Gestational surrogacy uses in-vitro fertilization by taking the egg of the biological mother and the sperm of the biological father and placing the embryo into the uterus of another individual. Surrogacy is performed for many reasons including: same-sex marriage, damaged uterus, age, history of miscarriages and other medical conditions. Although surrogacy is the safest option for most people, it raises many legal issues. Legal issues include the following: legal parents, refusal of custody from surrogate to biological parents and surrogacy contracts. Although surrogacy is efficient and effective, it is not a reliable

In the ever-changing world of science, in vitro fertilization has taken fertility to another level. In “Test-Tube Babies: Solution or Problem?” Ruth Hubbard describes just how in vitro fertilization works and the many risks factors the procedure brings with it. Hubbard gives her audience statistical evidence of women with unsuccessful pregnancies then follows it with historical evidence about the first women to ever receive in vitro Louise Brown in July, 1978. Although one might conclude that Hubbard would support in vitro she makes a shocking statement “But as a woman, a feminist, and a biologist, I am opposed to using it and developing it further.”

Jessica Cohen, a graduate of Yale, has written the essay “Grade A: The Market for a Women’s Eggs” regarding her experience on donating her eggs to a fastidious infertile couple. The primary reason for her consideration was $25,000 that the couple was willing to pay for the right donor. Although such large amount of money sounds extraordinary to a college student, Cohen wasn’t qualified for the couple’s satisfaction due to her credentials therefore Cohen would not be creating their “perfect child”. She explains many viewpoints of the process of egg donation, health risks correlating with egg donation, and the medical process of conception from donated eggs. After all, creating the ideal child is too easy especially if the person can afford it.

Egg Freezing (scientifically known as human ocyte cryopreservation) is a process in which a woman's eggs (oocytes) are extracted, frozen and stored. In the future, the eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and transferred to the uterus as embryos. In simpler language, egg freezing is the freezing of fertility for future. Cryopreservation although is not new. Since the 1950’s, human sperm has been frozen and stored, and since the 1980’s, human embryos have been cryopreserved.

Moreover there are cases where reproduction should be considered if medically needy. The method of artificial insemination involves the egg of a woman and the sperm of a male. General problems arise amongst society in the involvement of reproduction. This replica development is considered

Kelly J. Welch (2014) wrote that “each year, over 6 million couples in the United States face difficulties becoming pregnant”. Some parents adopt because of their love of children, for example when they decide to give so-called

Previously, abortions were also surgically performed, in which the cervix was mechanically dilated and her unborn baby was manually removed from her body. This, as a result however, posed a high risk of trauma to the cervix that responds to the body’s hormones—not a doctor’s tools—to remain closed during a pregnancy in order to sustain that pregnancy; and the damage, moreover, can also be suffered by the uterus, which is where the fetus develops before birth. With damage to these organs, any appropriate development for subsequent pregnancies are hindered. Therefore, the woman is put at greater risk for faulty subsequent pregnancies, with possibilities ranging from premature birth or miscarriage to infertility all together. Modern technology, fortunately, has developed ways to manipulate biology so that abortions no longer have to require the mechanical disruption of the cervix or

Taking a look at the moral concerns expressed, one article puts into question if it is ethical for a parent to make such a big decision as having another child, if that decision can be swayed if a child that they already have is sick. Another article states it is fine to use the “savior sibling” as long as the parent does not decide on his/her gender, hair color, eye color, height, or any physical traits while doing IVF. In other words, it’s okay to make an embryo where you know its genetic typing, but not okay to choose an embryo for its known physical attributes, such as in creating a “designer baby.” Another interesting article supported IVF with PGD and HLA, but suggested a change in the laws. It agreed with creating a baby with a genetic match to help cure a sick child, but advocated for the baby’s legal right to choose for itself.

In conclusion cyber-surrogacy is able to give an infertile woman or man a child. But the system is not waterproof, it got its dark sides and side-effects. I can definitely say that there are two sides of cyber-surrogacy. The fact that an infertile person who always wanted a kid can get one, is extraordinary. On the other hand, there should not be any suffering to make happiness.
