For the human female, pregnancy is a period of time that is celebrated in most cultures. However, reaching the point where a pregnancy successfully results in the birth of one or more healthy offspring can take more than one attempt. Wilcox et al. (1988) provided the conservative estimate that thirty-one percent of all pregnancies were unintentionally lost, with twenty-two percent of pregnancies being lost before they were clinically detected using delicate detection of hCG hormone levels in a sample

Investigations revealed that the egg donors were paid and that even two lab members had provided their oocytes for the study. The donors were not informed and briefed of the potential harm and risk the donation could cause and the nature of the research for which it was used. Secondly, fabrication of microscopic pictures and no evidence of the 11 reported

cloning was the use of unfertilized oocytes in the making of the clone zygote rather than using enucleated fertilized eggs (Lewis 2001). Previously, scientists had used already fertilized eggs in order to create clone zygotes. However, this technique was ineffective because most cells did not survive longer than the blastocyst phase (Lewis 2001). By coordinating the cell cycles of the donor somatic nucleus and using immature unfertilized eggs, the newly fertilized oocytes were able to divide and develop

Pregnancy for the human female is a period of time that is celebrated in most cultures. However, reaching the point where a pregnancy successfully results in the birth of one or more healthy children can be quite difficult. Wilcox et al.

Since the rate of

quality and mode of administration. Despite these changes there is still an immense physical and emotional burden attached to treatment. The treatment involves daily injections, frequent ultrasounds and blood tests and anaesthesia general or local, for oocyte retrieval. Among the complications the most terrifying one is OHSS which can be life threatening.  Mild stimulation protocols resulted from a desire to make the procedure more safe and simple. The fact that there has been an immense improvement in

The topic of interest was the INVO procedure, which was first introduced in a fertility clinic in Toronto during the year of 2015 (Kirkey, 2015). The very first in Canada to do this procedure (Kirkey, 2015). The concept behind this particular procedure is to allow women to undergo an in-vitro fertilization with the opportunity to “incubate” the embryos inside their own body which replaces the complex in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory (Kirkey, 2015). The essence of this methodology to assisting

Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks. Abortion is a big issue in the world today because while some say that the mother has a right to keep or abort her unborn child, others say that having a chance at life is more important. Many people are on both sides of this argument which makes it safe to say that abortion is one of the most controversial issues in America today. I, however, think that abortion is extremely and terribly

Pregnancy is a new stage in a woman’s life that can involve a number of complexities, which can affect the mother or baby, or both. Multiple birth is a complexity of pregnancy that is becoming increasingly more prevalent in today’s society. The incidence of multiple birth has a great effect on the mother and offspring, not only physically but also socially and emotionally. These effects include emotional instability as a result of child maltreatment, the increased risk of congenital malformation

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS ➢ The major function of the reproductive system is to make sure that the human species survives. ➢ It is not necessary for every human being to produce children, but in order to continue our human species, at least some people have to have children. ➢ The four main functions of the human reproductive system are: • To produce egg and sperm cells, • To transport and sustain these cells, • To nurture the developing offspring
