This PowerPoint program discusses Designer babies. This 26-slide presentation mentions topics like sex selection and prenatal genetic diagnosis, and discusses scientific benefit and possible harms. Undergraduate students in medicine will enjoy this presentation.
Designer babies are babies whose genetic makeup has been artificially selected through genetic engineering to ensure the presence or absence of particular genes or characteristics. While genetic screening and in vitro fertilization can help reduce genetic disorders and miscarriages, creating designer babies raises ethical concerns like playing God, risks to embryos, costs limiting access, and could lead to discrimination. While some see benefits in screening for diseases, most oppose genetic selection for traits like intelligence, athletics or appearance. Regulations vary by country on what genetic selection is allowed.

Designer babies refers to selecting desirable traits for embryos through IVF. While it could treat genetic diseases, there are ethical concerns. Allowing trait selection could negatively impact society through increased discrimination, reduced diversity, and treating children as commodities. There are also concerns about commercialization and restricting access to only the wealthy. Regulating gene editing to prevent physical/psychological harm while allowing disease treatment through techniques like PGD requires difficult consideration of these complex issues.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a medical procedure used to treat infertility and help couples conceive. It involves the fertilization of an egg outside of the body and then implanting the resulting embryo into the uterus. IVF can be used for a variety of infertility issues, including issues with the fallopian tubes, low sperm count, or ovulation problems.
The document discusses the history and debate around abortion rights in the United States. It notes that the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalized abortion nationwide, but pro-life supporters have sought to reverse or protest this ruling. It provides arguments in favor of legal abortion, such as reducing unsafe illegal abortions and the fact that not all pregnancies are wanted or can be supported. It also discusses issues with crisis pregnancy centers that spread misinformation, and notes that while abortion is an unfortunate necessity in some cases, efforts should focus on preventing unwanted pregnancies through comprehensive sex education and contraceptive access.

With rising infertility rates and evolving medical advancements, assisted reproductive techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte (egg) donation have become increasingly significant. Oocyte donation involves a healthy woman donating her eggs to help individuals or couples struggling with infertility.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment option that may be recommended for couples who have been unable to conceive after trying for at least a year. However, not all couples may be good candidates for IUI. Here's a look at who should consider IUI treatment and when it may be recommended.
This document discusses designer babies. It defines a designer baby as one whose genetic makeup has been artificially selected through genetic engineering to ensure particular genes or characteristics. The first designer baby, Adam Nash, was born in 2000 using pre-implantation genetic diagnosis to screen embryos for genetic disorders prior to implantation. While designer babies allow for healthy children and gender selection, there are also moral, ethical, social, and safety concerns. Currently, fertility clinics in major US cities conduct research on prenatal genetic testing to eliminate diseases.
This is a lecture I put together as part of a Medical Ethics course that I am teaching at Bowling Green State University this summer. It is about ethical issues related to genetic screening and counseling, and prenatal genetic diagnosis.
This document discusses ethical, legal, and religious issues surrounding elective oocyte (egg) freezing in Asia. It provides an overview of the reasons for and arguments surrounding egg freezing, both medical and non-medical. Key points include that while egg freezing is now supported for medical reasons, there is still debate around non-medical egg freezing. Success rates decline significantly after age 35, but the average age women freeze eggs is 38. Legal and religious restrictions exist in some Asian countries. The conservative nature of Asian societies brings additional ethical questions around egg freezing.
This document summarizes Dr. Yulia Peeva's presentation on the moral aspects of human reproduction. It discusses topics such as contraception, sterilization, abortion, human reproductive technologies, surrogacy, genetic engineering, stem cell research, and sex selection. For each topic, it outlines key definitions, positions on both sides of ethical debates, and considerations regarding issues like reproductive rights, discrimination, and the welfare of children. The presentation concludes by acknowledging that human reproduction involves complex ethical issues with reasonable arguments on multiple sides.
Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the United States in 1973, but pro-life supporters have strongly protested this decision. While abortions will always occur regardless of legality, making them illegal often leads to unsafe procedures that endanger women's lives. Instead of restricting access, efforts should focus on preventing unwanted pregnancies through comprehensive sex education and access to contraception.

HIFU in the Management of Uterine Fibroids .pptxabayomi ajayi
油
HIFU is a non-invasive technique using focused ultrasound to ablate uterine fibroids. It was developed in the 1950s and first used commercially in Europe in 1994. HIFU kills fibroids through coagulative necrosis, leading to shrinkage and symptom relief. Studies show HIFU can shrink fibroids by 32.5-52.5% within 6 months. HIFU has advantages over other treatments as it is non-invasive, spares the uterus, allows for future pregnancies, and has a faster recovery time of 1-2 days. Initial evidence also suggests HIFU does not negatively impact fertility or ovarian reserve. Larger clinical trials are still needed to further evaluate HIFU's effects on
Ovulation Induction Protocols in Endometriosis - Dr. Abayomi Ajayiabayomi ajayi
油
This document discusses ovulation induction protocols for endometriosis. It notes that 30-50% of infertility cases involve endometriosis. While natural fertility is reduced for women with endometriosis, IVF is the most effective treatment for overcoming endometriosis-related infertility. However, endometriosis impacts IVF outcomes by requiring higher gonadotropin doses and longer stimulation, producing fewer and lower quality eggs and embryos, and resulting in lower success rates. The document reviews various stimulation protocols and other measures that aim to improve IVF pregnancy rates for women with endometriosis, but notes there is no consensus on the best approach.

This document discusses methods for final oocyte maturation in IVF treatment. It notes that human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) has traditionally been used but gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists can also be used to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). While GnRH agonists prevent OHSS, they are associated with lower pregnancy rates. However, combining a GnRH agonist trigger with low-dose HCG or vitrification of all embryos may optimize pregnancy rates while still preventing OHSS. The optimal luteal phase support when using a GnRH agonist trigger remains an area of ongoing research.
Management Of Endometriosis Related Infertility By Dr. Abayomi Ajayiabayomi ajayi

1) Endometriosis affects 10% of women and can cause infertility in 30-50% of cases. It involves the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and comes in three main types.
2) The exact ways endometriosis causes infertility are unclear but likely involve anatomical distortion, tubal occlusion, reduced oocyte quality, and impaired endometrial receptivity.
3) Treatment options for endometriosis-related infertility include surgery, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IUI or IVF, and medical therapies like danazol or GnRH agonists, though medicines alone do not improve pregnancy rates. A comprehensive fertility assessment is needed to determine the best individual approach.
Luteal Phase Support In Art - Dr. Abayomi Ajayiabayomi ajayi
油
This document discusses luteal phase support (LPS) in assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles. LPS is required in ART cycles because the luteal phase is abnormal due to ovarian hyperstimulation and disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Common options for LPS include progesterone, HCG, and GnRH agonists administered through various routes starting on the day of oocyte retrieval and continuing until pregnancy is confirmed or the menstrual period starts. New challenges have emerged with the use of GnRH agonists to trigger final oocyte maturation instead of HCG. Personalized LPS protocols based on ovarian response and risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome show promise for optimizing pregnancy rates while preventing complications.
