Question

Respond to either case study 6a or 6b on In Vitro Fertilization or the cryopreservation of embryos utilizing the information from the articles on IVF to inform your response.

Case 6A Sam and Camory, happily married for more than eight years have been trying to have children for some time without success. Examination by a physician reveals that Camory has blocked fal- lopian tubes, and surgery would not rectify the condition-quite simply, they are unable to have children through conventional means. They strongly desire to have a child that is their own genetic offspring, and although their insurance does not cover reproductive interventions other than fertility drugs, they are willing to make the financial sacrifice. Sam and Camory's deep longing for children leaves no reason to doubt they will be loving parents. To a certain extent they also feel their marriage is lack- ing because they are unable to have children. Faced with this situation, IVF seems like the best solution. Camory is a prime candidate for the intervention because her uterus and ovaries are healthy. Also Sam has an adequate sperm count and the sperm function properly. Thus neither a donor nor surrogate will be necessary. IVF seems to offer them a good chance at having genetic offspring.17

Answer 1

Invitro fertilization is a process taking a sperm from male and egg from female to meet an fertilize in an external environment and when an embryo develops it is implanted in the uterus and allowed to grow.

This procedure now a days is common but having only either one couple where other lacks or has a problem. For instance if a women has problem in producing egg ,the sperm from the partner are fertilized with a donar egg, developed to form an embryo and it is implanted in the uterus.Innthis case both are normal so the egg and sperm can be taken from them processed to an embryo and implanted in Camory's uterus .This can give them a sense of emotional satisfaction of having their own genetic offspring.
