Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

Embryonic stem cells research is the most debated type of stem cell research. The moral standings of embryonic stem cell research have been debated since the research started. The side against the research claims that it is wrong to value one’s life above another and that the elimination of the most basic form of life is murder. While the side supporting the research claims that the research could bring about the cure for many types of diseases and help save the lives of millions. Embryonic stem

With new technologies coming out every day, it’s no wonder that a technology for improving “baby-making” has been made. In vitro fertilization is a more “efficient” way to conceive a child, and using that technology, people are changing the genes in the eggs to the parent’s liking. These babies being made with the use of this technology are aptly named “designer babies”. However, the potential benefits of genetically modifying babies are immensely outweighed by the social, economic, and planetary

through IVF because the embryo is not accessible to the physician during the early stages. However, with any medical procedure comes risks, complications, and downsides. A major complication associated with IVF is the condition known as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome which occurs during the hormone induced ovulation. The follicles become overstimulated, causing the ovary to become drastically enlarged. In severe cases, the woman can suffer many side effects like abdominal pain, abnormal kidney function

IVF is the process of removing eggs from a woman’s ovaries and mixed with sperm in a laboratory culture dish. It is likely to be recommended for people who; have blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, the woman’s partner has minor problem with his sperm, you have had no success with other fertility treatments or drugs, or you have been trying to conceive for at least two years and no cause has been found to explain why it has not been successful. The process of IVF treatment follows a series of steps

mandating coverage for a treatment that offers minimal success of a live birth while at the same time putting the health of these women at risk. For example, women receiving fertility treatments are at risk for ovarian hyperstimulation, adnexal torsion (ovarian twisting), and increased risk of ovarian cancer (IVF-Infertility.com, 2006). In addition, these women are faced with a greater chance of multiple pregnancy, which carries with it its own set of risks to the mother as well as to potential offspring

The Life of a Savior Sibling What is more wonderful than a birth of a baby? Human genetics is tremendously increasing each day. Scientists have figured out which genes causes what diseases and where at in the embryos. Vitro fertilization also refers to IVF, is a medical procedure which allows selected embryos that don’t have diseases into a petri dish. Prior to IVF, is when Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis also known as PGD, occurs. This is where the doctors will identify which embryos are healthy

What is In vitro Fertilisation (IVF)? IVF is a procedure where a women’s eggs are placed in a dish and are fertilised by donated sperm (usually from the woman’s partner.)’ The biological process of IVF: What is Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)? PGD is the genetic testing of known single gene diseases and mutations. Some inherited conditions that are tested for include haemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and a non-inherited condition is trisomy 21. PGD is a socio-scientific

Many different techniques are available to be used for the advancement of human reproduction. I have identified two of the best available manipulations that can be used and through this presentation I will be giving an overview of both of them. I will also be outlining two techniques that can be used for each manipulation and the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques. There will then be a comparison and contrast of the two manipulations in terms of the health and survival of the individuals

fertilization and an effective implantation of the fertilized ovum onto the endometrial wall of the uterus.3 In a study carried out in south western Nigeria, the common causes of infertility were: tubal factor (39.5%), uterine factor (30%), and ovarian factor (13%).5 Other causes included cervical factor (3%), pelvic inflammatory disease PID (5.5%), and endometriosis (2.5%).5 In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment offers the highest pregnancy rate irrespective of the cause of infertility.6 The
