High Tech Babies Humans have engaged in the healing arts in an attempt to improve life, save lives, and, with the advancement of technology, create life.

Finding out your body is not enough to hold another child is devastating to a woman. Even with In-Vitro and other kinds of fertility supplements it is not the same as your own child. I would love to say there is a cure but unfortunately there is not one yet.

medical science. However, despite these notions of medical science broadening further in different and secure ways to have offspring such things like the demand of sperm and egg for those who are infertile still rise up in the medical department for fertility.

The Controversial Three Areas of Sexuality For at least a decade, human embryos have been cloned. Invitro-fertilization (test-tube conception or IVF) is when egg cells are removed from a woman, fertilized with sperm outside the body, and returned into the uterus of a female. Cloning is producing an organism with genetic material identical to another organism. Multiple births occur when multiple offspring are born at the same time (twins, triplets, etc.). Invitro-fertilization, multiple
