Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 26RQ
Joe and Jane desperately want to have children, and although they have tried for 2 years, they have not been successful. Finally, each of them consults a physician, and it turns out that Joe suffers from oligospermia (a low sperm count). He confides to you that he doesn’t understand why this would interfere with his ability to have children since he remembers from biology class that it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg. What would you tell him?

Suppose that in the near future, you are a prenatal care provider. In the most recent ultrasound checkup on the expecting mother, you unfortunately found that the fetus is suffering a neural tube defect in the form of anencephaly. Seeing as the mother is still in the 12th week of pregnancy or the 1st trimester, the pregnancy can still be terminated via medical means. How would you explain to the parents the situation they are in?

The procedure in creating one through vitro fertilizationand What problem does it solve?arrow_forwardA married American lady named Vicky T., has been married for 7 years and has not been blessed with even a single child. With the consent of her husband, she decided to take fertility pills with the hope that with that medical procedure she would bear a baby. After taking the pills for 14 months, she conceived and was on the start of the 2nd trimester. In her usual check-up with her OB-Gyne, and after an ultrasound procedure, her hope to have a baby had risen to unprecedented proportions. She was told that she was carrying seven (7) babies in her womb. According to her OB-Gyne, she would not be able to have all the babies delivered as the seven would stress too much her uterus and this could be fatal to her and all her babies. Therefore, three of the designated weak babies would have to be removed before the end of the 2nd trimester. Vicky T., got confused and was in limbo.
