In-Vitro fertilization (IVF) has been successful used for over 20 years in women who were facing infertility due to eggs or tubes problems. In this procedure, a donated egg and a sperm is fertilized outside the body and then implanted inside the womb of a woman.
This technique has helped many couples to have children of their own and resulted in the birth of more than 500,000 babies.
However, IVF has it’s bad sides that need to be considered before undergoing the procedure. There has been a death case reported in England. A woman had died because of the toxic shock after IVF treatment.
Reports show that one in seven women who receives IVF treatment could be hospitalized with complication that can be serious and even life threatening. There is a risk of miscarriages, bleeding, ectopic pregnancy and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and is doubled compared to natural pregnancies.
Ever since it has been introduced, In-Vitro fertilization has been raised many legal, ethical, and religious questions. |
