Bearing children can be extremely hard to some couples because of various reasons. This is the reason why couples have turned to the latest medical technology to help them. With the hope of assisted reproduction technology
(ART), these dreams are somewhat in reach. However, studies have shown that with these procedures come the higher risk of birth defects:
“According to a report from U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), children conceived through ART have a greater likelihood
of having heart wall defects, gastrointestinal defects and a condition known as cleft lip. ART refers to any procedure involving the
surgical removal of eggs from a woman’s womb followed by combining the eggs with sperm in a lab, and then returning them to the woman’s body
or donating them to another woman.”
There have been no confirmations that ART is the main cause of the defects, but rather that the risk of birth defects rise.In the meantime,
it would be best to know what are within your rights regarding the Healthcare Law.
