Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

In 1996, “Dolly the sheep” was born. Dolly was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. This process was immensely difficult, “of the 277 attempts to fuse an adult sheep cell nucleus with an egg, only 27 developed normally” (Elsner 597). Although this paved the way for most of the cloning that takes place today, like human reproductive cloning, the success rates and dangers it proposes outweigh any benefits. Human reproductive cloning is a reproductive technology that helps a parent produce a

in todays society. Assisted Reproductive Technology has been a breakthrough in science because it helps many people that want to have kids but cannot. Because In Vitro Fertilization is an artificial process, it can cause problems like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. This means that the woman’s ovaries get very swollen and painful. The furthest and worst extend of this can lead to the pregnancy being terminated and the woman may become hospitalized(2). Indeed Assisted Reproductive Technology seems

In Vitro Fertilization, more commonly known as IVF treatment is the process of combining a woman’s eggs and a man’s sperm in a dish where the healthiest embryo, or multiple, are then implanted in the woman’s uterus. IVF is an extensively discussed topic through separate countries and the laws and restrictions behind it. It is a process which allows couples having trouble with infertility, and a number of other social pairings, to be able to conceive children. But one of the biggest issues behind

option is IVF. If a 42-year-old woman has five embryos placed, there is a 10 to 20 percent chance of pregnancy. If pregnancy is achieved, there is a 20 percent chance of a multiple; this carries its own risks” (Cooperman, n.d.). For women who have low ovarian reserve and produce only a few embryos, or for women over the age of 43, egg donation is the best choice.Now, as the chart shown above, with a less than fifty percent success rate, these women have to meet a certain age and height and health requirement

EPIDEMIOLOGY Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that affects 4% to 12% of women of childbearing age.1 The proportion of individuals in a population with PCOS depends on the diagnostic criteria.2 According to the criteria implemented by the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology/American Society for Reproductive Medicine, PCOS is as great as 15% to 20%.2 As stated in The National Institute of Health Office of Disease Prevention Report, PCOS impacts about

steps. The first thing that happens is that the doctor needs to get in control of the woman's ovulation cycle. Some Doctors will put the woman on birth control which has been proven to increase the chances of fertilization and decrease ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and

concerns as well. According to Our Bodies Ourselves, one quarter of women who inject fertility drugs - a necessary part of ART treatment - experience Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome which causes the ovaries to temporarily swell and become painful” (Assisted Reproductive Technologies: Blessing? Curse? Both?). Although this is a temporary syndrome, researchers are still unsure of the long-term health effects that can arise from ART processes. For example, the article Assisted Reproductive Technologies:

addressing. In vitro fertilization, otherwise known as IVF was developed in 1978 by two doctors; Dr. Edwards, and Dr. Steptoe. Before the woman’s eggs are collected she is received a treatment called ovarian stimulation. Normally a woman will only release one egg when she ovulates, and with ovarian stimulation it helps the body release more than one egg so that more can be

Any changes in the function of the glands would affect ovulation and therefore, many causes of the dysfunction affect the glands in some way. Premature ovarian failure, a cause of ovulatory dysfunction, is a disorder believed to be due to genetic abnormalies which leads to the faster depletion of eggs in an ovary. Women who have this disorder lose more eggs during menstruation than normal women, eventually

Steven Weinberg, a famous theoretical physicist, once said, “It does not help that some politicians and journalists assume the public is interested only in those aspects of science that promise immediate practical applications to technology or medicine” (Doc, 2016). Though this refers to many, if not all, fields of science when there are new technological advances, there is one in particular that falls under this assumption. There are two basic fields within stem cell research and the one under
