Bioethics in ART

Bioethics in assisted reproductive technology (ART) addresses the moral and ethical issues that arise from techniques like in vitro fertilization, egg donation, and surrogacy. It considers questions about the rights of parents, the well-being of children, and the implications of genetic engineering. Key concerns include access to these technologies, the potential for genetic discrimination, and the ethical treatment of embryos. Bioethicists strive to balance innovation in reproductive medicine with respect for human dignity and social justice, ensuring that ART practices are ethically sound and benefit individuals and society as a whole.
