Assisted reproductive technology (ART) raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding access and embryo status. Ethical principles like liberty, utility, and justice guide ART, but societal influences create disparities, impacting availability for different socioeconomic groups.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Sociology of Health

Background:

  • Infertility presents a global challenge, disproportionately affecting developing nations.
  • Conventional infertility treatments generally avoid ethical dilemmas.
  • Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) introduces significant ethical debates and controversies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the ethical principles underpinning ART.
  • To examine the societal, economic, and legal influences on ART ethics.
  • To address disparities in ART access and the moral status of embryos.

Main Methods:

  • Review of ethical principles (liberty, utility, justice) in ART.
  • Analysis of societal, economic, and legal factors influencing medical ethics.
