Extract

The Ethical Problems associated with the new reproductive technologies are well known: they have been aired in the media since the birth of the first “test tube” baby, Louise Brown, in 1978. The moral status of the human embryo outside the womb (available for manipulation as never before), the “rights of ownership” of human gametes transferred between individuals in fertility treatment, the appropriate use of prenatal and preconceptual diagnostic testing, the truthful disclosure of risks and success rates of fertilization and live births, and the very meaning of infertility remediation in an overpopulated society—these and other issues have been noted and debated worldwide for several decades.
