Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)
Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) encompass a range of medical procedures designed to aid individuals or couples in achieving pregnancy when conventional methods are unsuccessful. These techniques include in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and egg or sperm donation. ART offers hope to those facing infertility due to various factors, such as advanced maternal age, male infertility, or medical conditions affecting fertility. It involves precise hormonal manipulation, laboratory procedures, and skilled medical interventions to optimize the chances of conception. While ART has revolutionized reproductive medicine, ethical considerations regarding embryo selection, multiple pregnancies, and the psychological impact on individuals and families remain important.
