Summary
The interplay between psychological and ethical issues continues to shape and define the role and responsibilities of professionals in the field of ART. Advances in ART have brought the process of creating a child some distance from nature, enabling physicians to offer patients a variety of permutations in terms of conceiving and carrying offspring. Women can be stimulated to produce multiple oocytes, resulting in multiple births that would not otherwise have occurred. Patients can receive donor gametes – eggs and/or sperm or embryos – to create children who (from a genetic point of view) would not otherwise have been created and whose genetic makeup does not reflect their own.
