Reproductive Technology

Reproductive technology refers to medical techniques that assist with conception and pregnancy. This includes methods like in vitro fertilization (IVF), where eggs and sperm are combined in a lab to create embryos, which are then implanted in a woman's uterus. Other methods involve hormonal treatments, artificial insemination, and genetic testing of embryos. These technologies can help individuals and couples facing infertility, same-sex couples wishing to have children, or those with genetic concerns. Overall, reproductive technology aims to improve reproductive health and increase the chances of having a healthy baby.
