Extend Fertility Case Study

In the Hendersons’ case, the couple was able to successfully undergo infertility treatment in the past and now have one child, yet failed to see gains from a similar treatment covered by Clarion the second time. Consequently, the Hendersons were advised to seek a more involved, costly procedure in relation to the previous treatment; however, there was little medical evidence presented regarding the success rate and medical necessity for the recommended treatment.

While this cannot be statistically verified for years to come, women may feel not only that the threat of their inner “time clock” may be eased by assisted reproductive technology, but also that the financial burden of these technologies will be relieved by state-mandated insurance coverage. Due to the availability of insured ART services it may be that in the foreseeable future a whole generation of women may forego natural conception, instead opting to attempt conception on their own schedule rather than under the time constraints of their biological time clock.

Imagine this, you are fertility doctor who in the past had helped a twenty-six year old, single woman to have six babies; and now at the age of thirty-three years old that same single woman whose children are now between the ages of two and seven walks into your office and says “I am ready for my next baby”, (her last six embryos are in your possession). What would you

Finally, the resolution of this topic is analyzed through a recorded interview and both printed and online articles. The resolution of this issue is society's take on IVF since the birth of Louise Joy Brown, and how this advancement has impacted the world. First analyzed is a recorded interview video from BBC, an international source. This interview is of Louise Brown as an adult, and helps portray the reality of this situation. The interview helps viewers understand that this artificial fertilization technique produced a real, living, breathing human being. She can formulate thoughts and opinions about the medical breakthrough that was her birth. This interview asks Louise what she feels her birth has brought to the world (Brown), but may

Making big choices in life can be difficult, especially if that big choice is having children. There are many men and women who are infertile that still want to have children. Most decide to adopt other children who do not have families or their families do not want them. But when adoption is not an option, there is now a way where those men and women can have their own children together through fertility treatments. Fertility treatments could be a good thing:being able to freeze egg and sperm, they can help infertile couples, and avoiding transmitted diseases would be easier.

Deborah L. Spar’s book, The Baby Business, provides an eye opening experience about surrogacy and the selling of eggs without women becoming pregnant. I am surprised to know how people in general and the field of medicine in particular can and has find ways to make the process of procreation possible and a accessible through marketing. Considering the time of Abraham when Sara who longed to have a child asked her husband to give her a child through her maid and claim him/her as her own, was

There has been much scrutiny over college athletes receiving illegal benefits over the years. What should be looked at more closely is why these benefits are illegal in the first place. The NCAA has such a stranglehold on college athletics that college athletes are not allowed to do what many other college students do. Many recent scandals have sparked the debate of the payment of college athletes. There has been controversy as to whether college athletes should be paid, or whether they should be happy with their scholarships.

“The methods used to obtain eggs have put egg donation in the spotlight, especially the issue of compensating women for their eggs.” (Chapter Preface)

Although I was very hesitant to come to last night’s class I’m glad I did. I wanted to take anxiety meds before-hand but I didn’t have any left. The concepts of pregnancy and childbirth are uncomfortable for me because I’m adopted. I’m not sure if it was me being overwhelmed with the topic or what but I feel like it was rushed and I’m not sure how much of it I absorbed or understood it. There was so much terminology when it came to the infertility solutions.

Technological and scientific advancement has introduced various changes in the reproduction process. For instance, women can undertake safe abortions, use birth control pills and freeze their eggs. The idea of freezing eggs has often been used to help women undergo cancer treatment techniques that are more likely to interfere with their fertility. Women with crippling genetic disorders have also used the freezing option so that they can offer their eggs to someone that is not a carrier of the same disorder. However, recently, healthy and fertile women tend to freeze their eggs with the claims of being busy and focusing with their careers. Hence, they decide to postpone conception and pregnancy for a later period. The behavior seems unethical because some of these women are simply persuaded by their organizations and they agree with the idea because they are afraid of being sacked. The lack of informed

Our own L.A. egg freezing expert, Dr. Bendikson, knows virtually everything there is to know about ovulation induction, IVF and egg freezing, and is also a teacher, researcher and mom of two. We asked her whether egg freezing is something she would recommend for herself or her own family and friends.

In today's society media bias is almost everywhere . News channels take stories and twist them around to make certain people look bad . At the rate bias media is growing there may not be a end. If all media sources reported the truth then accounts of bias media will go down .

Final Examination 1.) Question 77 – The Capacities of the Soul in General: a2. Does the soul have only one capacity, or more than one? Aquinas claims that it is more fitting to think of the soul’s powers in the plural sense. He argues for this position based on a hierarchy of being: the higher one is up the hierarchy of being, the more unified are ones operations.

It goes without saying that a counselor treating clients for infertility should be empathetic, understanding, genuine, and non-judgmental among other traits. Initially, after drawing out the client’s story and assessing their needs for therapy one beginning of treatment can be to provide psychoeducation from a biological, medical, and psychological perspective (Joy & McCrystal, 2015). This ensures a firm foundation for both the client and therapist to develop a healthy treatment plan from which to explore all available options, alternatives, and possible outcomes that are presented. A few examples are in vitro fertilization, surrogacy, adoption, and even acceptance that rearing children

Artificial reproductive technology (ART) is defined as procedures which stimulate a woman 's ovaries to produce eggs, the eggs are then removed, combined with sperm, and then returned to a woman 's body (Bell, 2016). ART is becoming more and more popular throughout that globe. This method of conceiving children gives women who may be struggling with infertility options that were not possible before the advent of such methods. ART is relevant to the sociological definition of global health because it is evidence of the fact that our world has become interdependent especially when it comes to medical technology. However with ART comes the notion of the culture of disguise and in many countries this is an integral part of artificial reproductive technology process. With that being said, sociologists should look to study and understand the culture of disguise in ART as it pertains to global health and it shapes interactions between people and the society they live in.
