reproductive Technologies

Reproductive technologies refer to medical techniques used to assist individuals and couples in conceiving a child. This includes in vitro fertilization (IVF), where eggs and sperm are combined outside the body to create embryos, which are then implanted in the uterus. Other methods include artificial insemination, egg donation, and surrogacy. These technologies can help those facing fertility issues, same-sex couples, or single individuals who wish to become parents. They raise important ethical and legal considerations, impacting family dynamics, genetics, and access to reproductive options.
