Question

True or False? Many of the early steps in the reproductive process can be carried out in the laboratory through procedures such as in vitro fertilization, therefore, decisions at each stage whether to move forward to the next stage need to be made. One example of a stage that requires a decision is reviewing the test results for genetic anomalies of a pre-embryo.

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In vitro fertilization refers to the laboratory techniques by which a woman's egg is fertilized by injecting a man's sperm in order to develop an embryo outside the body. Subsequently, this embryo can be then implanted into the female uterus to continue with its development. Nowadays, it is possible to decide the stage of development in which the fetus (developed from an embryo) is transferred to the uterus. This situation raises ethical, moral and legal concerns about when a fetus can be regarded as a human being.
