Question
Chapter 16, Problem 2QP
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the practice of fertility clinics to limit the age of egg-donor women recipients to 55 years or younger is an intrusion on reproductive rights.
Introduction: Age related infertility problems in females can be solved by retrieving eggs from donor females or using eggs that have been collected and frozen. Then, with the aid of IVF technology, the in-vitro incubated egg can be implanted into the uterus of older females. This makes it possible for older women to become pregnant.
