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

When IVF first became popular Van Blerkom says, “ My First Reaction was, ‘You’ve got to be kidding’” (qtd. in Cheng). Scientists are now going to try to create a chapter method of IVF so many more people would be able to enjoy a test tube baby that would not cost the $60,000 incubator cost ( Cheng).

The new advancement in reproductive technologies give significant aid to couples who are unable to reproduce, and make many new reproductive arrangements possible. The different options available for adults considering childrearing in unusual ways under new reproductive methods are two-party and third-party assisted reproduction. Assisted reproduction can raise some ethical

On June 25th 1978 Louis Brown, the first “test tube baby” was born. She weighed 5 pounds, 12 ounces .Her parents, Lesley and John Brown, had been trying to conceive for nine years. They faced complications of blocked Fallopian tubes and were willing to try the experimental and risky procedure.
