    The local authority applied to make the unborn child of a mentally disturbed woman prone to drug abuse a ward of the court. The Court of Appeal of the UK rejected the application, ruling that it had no jurisdiction to make an unborn child the ward of the court. It based its judgment on the principle that a fetus has no status as a legal person or rights under the law until it is born and separate from its mother.

    Teratogenicity

    The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

    In Vitro Fertilization

    In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
    The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...
