Explain the difference between AID and AIH 4 KU

‘Using another man’s sperm apart from your husband’s is adulterous’. How far do you agree or disagree with this statement? 4AE

Task 1• Read pages 7 (Moral Views on the

treatment of embryos) and 9 and complete all tasks.

IVF• In vitro fertilization – more commonly

called ‘test tube’. The eggs and sperm are collected and put together to be fertilized in a Petri dish, and then placed in the uterus.

• This method is used when a woman cannot conceive naturally or there is infertility. There is about a 20% success rate.

• The eggs and sperm could have come from donors. The eggs and sperm would have been kept frozen ready for use, and once fertilized any unused eggs will be destroyed.

• Concerns over the way in which we appear able to manufacture babies led the government to introduce the Human Fertilization and Embryology Act 1990. It regulates on research, storage and treatments.

Surrogacy• Surrogacy or ‘womb-renting’. This is where a woman has a

baby for another couple. • Conception is usually by artificial methods, and can be

using the couple’s and/or donor’s eggs and sperm.• In the majority of cases it is used when the woman cannot

medically carry a pregnancy. • For many surrogacy is the only alternative to childlessness.• In the UK, where surrogacy occurs, it is illegal to pay

someone to do it. The child must be genetically related to at least one of the commissioning couple.

• Explain what is meant by in vitro fertilization and why is it used?

• Explain what is meant by surrogacy. What is the legal position regarding surrogacy in the UK?

Louise Brown - First test tube baby

One day it might be possible to make sperm and eggs (gametes) from other bodily cells. In theory, this might allow two women to create a child that is genetically theirs.

Stem cells are thought to hold huge potential for treating a wide range of disease and disability. Scientists around the world are working on techniques to refine stem cell therapy.

Critics have expressed horror about research to create a human embryo with genetic material from three parents.

So what are the issues?

They centre around the uniqueness of human lifeWhen does it start?Is it sacred?

People don’t agree

Which is why there is often a clash between religious believers and the latest scientific developmentsEspecially in the area of fertility and embryo research

Sanctity of life’ is the key idea

This means that all human life is sacredIt is precious because it is a gift of GodNothing should be done to destroy it

Should ‘Spare’ embryos be discarded?Or used in experiments?
