Chapter 26, Problem 19BS

Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which the parents should decide which embryo to use.

Concept introduction: The infertility is the inability of couples to conceive a baby even after a year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. The reproductive technologies assist these infertile couples to conceive a baby directly or through surrogate mothers. In vitro fertilization is a procedure that is also known as fertilization “in glass”. In vitro fertilization (IVF) occurs under artificial laboratory conditions, wherein either the male or female or both are infertile. In vitro fertilization gives the infertile couples a chance to parenthood. The baby designing is where the genome of embryo is altered to remove the unwanted mutations or increase certain gene expression to give a healthier baby than normal. The baby designing comes with a lot of varied views from several people.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The parents have the right or not to choose the embryo based on the presence or the absence of disease-causing genes.
