... As implied in the book on IVF, venereal dieases that damage the reproductive system are on the rise again. ... Edwards, a British reproductive physiologist, wanted to try the idea of in-vitro fertilization. ... The book on IVF describes the basic steps of in-vitro fertilization; the woman is given a fertility drug to stimulate her ovaries so they can produce a number of mature eggs; at the proper time, the eggs are retrieved by suction through a needle that has been inserted into her ovaries, the eggs are then fertilized in a glass petri dish or a test tube in the laboratory with her partners sperm and subsequently the embryos are transferred into the body (Sher 205). ... Society, however, must decide if technology should be allowed to run rampant or progress in a slow manner. The book, Making Babies, states different opinions from society. Some say that contributing to the reduction in the number of babies needing adoption, legal abortion has increased the pressure form infertile groups. Others say it is wrong to go to so much trouble and expense to create new babies when there are so many to adopt (Singer 42). Ethical issues are worth considering and listening to. ...
Scientists and experts are important to the growth of technology; however, their opinions contradict. ... While embryo research is being questioned, it is reasonable to wonder why the government and society is not more focused on serious issues, such as aids, cancer, and other deadly and incurable dieases. ...
Since the dawn of the test tube baby era, conflicts have risen concerning religion, capitalism, worries, the future, and life itself. ... Advancing technology might raise more questions and possibly more dilemmas. ... Another concern is whether or not the health care system is equally providing care to IVF babies and naturally born babies.
