Medically assisted procreation: in vitro fertilization
Outline:

History of in vitro fertilization - when did it start - genetics behind IVF: not highly genetic- PCOS can be genetic which contributes to infertility - success rate of conceiving: 60-70% chance of each egg conceiving - multiple birth rates due to IVF: fertility drug administered to eggs or semen directly injected into egg. (increased chances in women over 35 to have a multiple birth) - ethics dilemmas due to IVF: * "harming" embryos that wind up getting removed in the process VS being viewed as a protoplasm * multiple pregnancies harming the mother and children due to complications such as uterine bleeding and children not receiving equal nutrients * IVF has shown some pre term deliveries and low birth weights. * Not natural and more costly to community since we are bringing more people into the world.

Multifetal pregnancy reduction
History of multifetal pregnancy reduction - when was this first completed - genetics with multiple pregnancies - success rate of procedure: aims to reduce pregnancies down to aprox. 1-2, to increase survival and success of the mother and babies. - ethics dilemmas due to MFPR * similar to abortion ethics (reduction of fetus vs. fetus life) * protecting maternal well being vs. harming new lives * trauma of terminating an wanted pregnancy (Due to risks) vs. naturally trying to convince
