15:08:55 This is a course on Biomedical Ethics. I am Professor Philip green.
15:09:01 This module chapter deals with reproduction, assisting with production, gaining control over human.
15:09:11 Assisting reproduction, gaining control over human knowledge, without a doubt, most human beings consider the survival of the species to be a good thing.
15:09:23 But that requires reproduction, members of our species to learn of the new child being born in Germany conservative a happy occasion.
15:09:29 So, whatever it can be done to help people to produce a child is also generally thought to be happy and good thing, but it can reach a point with the development of the technologies that we have a questions are raised.
15:09:49 Is it always a good and reasons for having a way in which the child is be brought into the world.
15:10:00 questions arise if the weather is not assisting in reproduction.
15:10:07 There's always a good thing. Morally speaking.
15:10:12 There are different forms of assistance, involving in vitro fertilization, for example, artificial insemination implantation of a developing real from one into another or from one official environment into the womb of a female.
15:10:34 Be.
15:10:35 There's also a process pruning reproducing human being.
15:10:49 Exact genetic duplicate
15:10:48 technologies as well so develop, where
15:10:54 pregnancies can occur and women who are carrying the fetus.
15:11:11 For another person. Another woman or a couple women or a mixed sex marriage.
15:11:12 There's also the search for sperm donors in the hopes of producing a child of a particular physical position, hoping the characteristics of the sperm donor will be witnessed in the channel that is produced
15:11:31 with the assistance of drugs fertilization multiple pregnancies occur.
15:11:38 And then questions arise as to the selective reduction of the pregnancy to reduce the number of fetuses that are developing, or to reduce the number by selecting those fetuses that look as if they have more positive traits, or greater physical characteristics
15:11:59 in order to survive.
15:12:01 questions arise as to helping women who are posting was.
15:12:08 How old is too old to have a child or for a male. How old is too old, as it's known. He older the sperm donor. The frequency of complications are
15:12:23 is there to be any women.
15:12:25 By age on people participating in reproducing human beings who would set such a limit based on what, what would make that limit, a morally good thing to do.
15:12:41 Then there are questions that arise when a child is developing those two who should control the development of the child.
15:12:54 With the techniques of assisting in fertilization that we know, there can be sperm, taken from males, and frozen eggs taken from females and frozen fertilized eggs, taken from the womb of a female, and then placed into a frozen meeting.
15:13:22 In which case, questions to arise as to who controls. Those frozen entities who owns them, who has the right to say what has to be done with them, court cases have taken place when couples have entered into an agreement as to what their hooks would be
15:13:41 that led them to having sperm, a fertilized egg frozen.
15:13:48 And then the relationship dissolves and control over the frozen embryo. It turns a matter of law court to decide what's the morally correct things.
15:14:01 And with Sarah good pregnancies, when a woman is fired.
15:14:07 Whatever the terms of agreement or in a location where it is legal to do so.
15:14:13 And then that woman becomes pregnant.
15:14:17 And the time decides not to give up the developing fetus to whoever it was who contracted for her to carry the fetus determine then surrender the baby to the contractor.
15:14:32 Well then who owns who controls the baby.
15:14:39 Once it's born.
15:14:41 Become a legal question.
15:14:43 According to the side but it's a moral question, well.
15:14:49 So, in this chapter module, we'll go from looking at attempts to help people that have babies to the question of who controls, what babies emerge as a result of the technologies that are now available.
