Medical technology has provided many solutions which are known as EMBRYO TECHNOLOGY. One embryo technology is In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), this is using when an egg from the woman is fertilises outside the womb using either the husband’s or a donor’s sperm and then replaced in the womb. In 1979, the first test tube was born by using the IVF. From October 1998, the government ordered an investigation into sperm and egg donation.
Another embryo technology is Artificial Insemination by Husband (AIH). This solutions is using when the husband sperm is inserted into his wife by using the machine. In USA, 1934, the first child has conceived through Artificial Insemination.
Furthermore, in the embryo technology is Egg Donation. The Egg Donation is using when the egg is donated from another woman and fertilised by IVF using the husband’s sperm and then replaced in the wife’s womb. Embryo Donation is also known as embryo technology. This is using when both egg and sperm come from donors and fertilised by using IVF.
More over, the Surrogacy is also known as embryo technology. Surrogacy is using either egg or sperm of husband and wife are fertilised and replaced in the other woman’s womb. In case, after the women give birth to the baby and the woman hand the baby to the husband and wife. And, Gamete In-fallopian Transfer (GIFT) is also known as embryo technology. Gamete In-fallopian is using when doctors takes the sperm and egg and mixed together in a lab and inject it in with the needle into the fallopian tubes.
Another embryo technology is ZIFT (Zygote In-fallopian Transfer). The fertilisation is like GIFT but these takes place outside of the body. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is also known as embryo technology. It is using when a single sperm is injected into a single egg – the embryo then transplanted into the uterus. Sperm is sometimes needs to be collected from the testicles via a microscopic needle.
I think peoples have those treatments because they’re wants to have a child. Even thought the treatments are a financial and emotional burden and it not only success. People allow to cure fertility by used their sperm or egg from their husband/wife dead bodies. The oldest women are also allowing to uses those treatments but the treatment cost very expensive.
Children who are created through fertility treatment are allowed to know who their biological parents are. However, their parents have no responsible for their child whose are born. The parents are allowed to design their own child.
There are two very different Christian’s views on infertility.
The Roman Catholic believe that life is a given by God and therefore no one has the right to children. Jeremiah shows ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.’ He means God know what happen before the women pregnant. Although the Catholic Church feels sympathy for peoples who can not have children, so it only allow to used the treatment that do not in dangerous of life and in which sex acts are natural. This means that all embryo technology is banned for Catholic.
There are many reasons for this attitude, one of them are the IVF treatment that involves fertilising in several eggs some are thrown away and some are used for experiment which is the same as abortion. Another attitude is all forms of artificial insemination or surrogacy involve masturbation by the male which is a sin for Catholic.
Catholic Church also have this attitude because catholic believe that children who born by using fertilisation treatment have the right know who their parent are and this are prevented surrogacy. Catholic also believe that all form of embryo technology involve fertilisation which taking place apart from the sex act. As well as Catholic believe that God intended to know that they’re wants to be part of the sex act. Samuel shows ‘For he love, Hamah, but the Lord has shut up her womb.’ He means if women can not have children which it’s happen naturally and God has already decided what will happen to the women.
