Treatments for Infertile Couples

There are many people in the UKwho are infertile. To be infertile

means to be unable to produce offspring. These people all have

different medical problems which fortunately have many solutions

however with disadvantages as well as advantages. However some people

choose to stay infertile no matter how much they want a child. They

might believe in a particular religion where it teaches that only God

has the right to decide matters of life and death and he would be the

one to decide whether they should have a child or not.

As mentioned before, there are many solutions for infertile couples

depending on their situation. Some infertile couples have problems

with the male partner, female partner or both of the partners

involved. Scientists and Medical specialists have formed many

solutions to suit different situations.

When a man has a low sperm count he can try out two methods to make

him fertile. He can take up Artificial Insemination or/and

Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ISCI). Artificial Insemination

involves concentrating different semen samples and injected into the

neck of the woman's womb when she is ovulating. Although it has been

existent for the past 50 years, this technique has a low success rate.

The ICSI technique is a little less complicated. It just requires a

single sperm of the man to be injected into the woman's womb.

When the woman is the person who is the cause of the infertility she

also has two solutions that she could apply to. This being egg

donation and surrogate mothers. In egg donation both the donor and the

recipient have to be harmonised in order for the IVF treat...

God. Further reasons for why they are against it, is because they are

firm believers of 'ahimsa', non-violence. Hindus regard another's

organs taken out for another as a violent and unjustifiable thing to

do.

Hindus also believe that transplant surgery breaks their law of karma.

They believe that transplant surgery is helping to cure someone who is

meant to suffer because of the bad things they did in their previous

or present life. By getting a transplant or an alteration, they are

avoiding the punishment given by God, which only makes it worse for

them.

Some of the opposing Hindus may also have concerns regarding the poor.

They believe that poor people might exploit themselves by selling

their organs in order to receive some money to survive on for

themselves or to provide for their family.

If euthanasia is allowed, then it becomes part of the public. Thus, others would be allowed to make decisions for those who can’t decide for themselves whether they want to live or not.

  • Infertility In Women And Women, By Kara Deferias

    First, let’s define Infertility? Infertility is the inability to conceive from unprotected sex within a year. According to National Infertility Association(NIA), approximately 1 in 8 couples in the U.S-about 10-15% experience infertility. Infertility doesn’t discriminate against gender or race, therefore, it impacts both men and women equally, and that range from ages 15-50. In addition, any fertile individual could experience this condition, therefore, one can develop it later in life. This condition is shared by about 6 + million women in the U.S. and about 3-4.7 million men were diagnosed in with infertility, including 14% sperm/semen and 6% varicocele, which is an enlarged vein inside the male scrotum, pouch that holds the testicles of a male, therefore this blocks the blood from through the blood stream.

    For most of people, the only way to conceive a child is through sexual intercourse between a man and a woman by contributing the egg and the sperm into a woman’s womb. In a common practice, this is the only way on how to conceive a child. However, since the growing of time, with parenthood changing all thanks to the assisted reproductive technology (ART), the usual norm of conceiving a child has changed dramatically over the past decades. Lewis Vaughn describes this process to “address the agonizing problem of infertility and the powerful desire that many people have for their children of their own, especially children with whom they have a biological link” (Vaughn 392). The methods of reproductive technology is always understood under the scientific world, nonetheless, it remains a controversial topic within people.

  • Fertility Treatments And Women Are Becoming Mothers

    1259 Words  | 3 Pages

    Giving thanks to the new improvements in fertility treatments, American women are becoming mothers later than ever lately. Therefore, the number of women having their first child are between the ages of 40 and 44 has increased more than fourfold from 1985 through 2012, with the number of such births reaching 109,579 in 2012, according to the centers for disease control and prevention (O’Brien,2014). Women are more likely to conceive during their 20s, the cut off age for trying to conceive is 37. There should be a point where doctors tell you it’s time to stop treatments(cycles), but instead clinics will try to upsell you. What we as women do not realize is the high cost, the process, and the outcome of these fertility treatments. Sadly couples put so much into a process, and can come out with a disappointing outcome. So I myself do not stand by fertility treatments, these things can cause too much emotional distress.

    Infertility is a heart breaking reality that has existed throughout history and is something that people still face today. As technology is advancing, doctors are able to give people more options to help them achieve a pregnancy. One option that technology has allowed for is surrogate motherhood, or placing a fertilized egg into a woman to develop. Gestational surrogacy, one method of the process, implants a couple’s fertilized egg into another woman who then carries the baby to full term. This is a great and safe method for couples today, but is highly misunderstood. Surrogacy allows parents to have a child with their genetics, unlike other options. Different religious groups don’t believe it is morally correct and some pro-life campaigners

  • Literature Review of In Vitro Fertilization

    1603 Words  | 4 Pages

    Can anybody or anything claim to be a god—the supreme entity that governs all moral authority? Since Gregor Mendel first tinkered with plants for genes to the time of great evolutionists like that of Lamarck and Darwin who proposed their individual theories of evolution; there has been much more technological advancement, debate, controversy, and understanding on the “origin” of humans through scientific fields like that of genetics, genetic engineering, etc. There has always been an assumption and belief of a higher power governing the physical world that scientists and metaphysicists cannot answer; however, there has been great insight into how did we come to be? Any practicing religion will tell you, God or gods are the answer to every question. Both sides are quick to defend either their science or their religion from the fundamentalist to the naturalist. In more recent news, in vitro fertilization (the fertilization of an egg cell outside the body) has begun to see an increase in viability as questions about its ethics and morality have become more accepting due to the costs of a procedure being cut down (not covered by the Affordable Care Act), developments in medical and scientific technology through IVF, and subsidiary factors: the advent of “designer babies” and the increasing tolerance of homosexuality—leading to couples to seek out IVF.
