From the Paper:

"Laws and legal guidelines like the Assisted Human Reproduction Act address the need for regulation and protection in the controversial and growing field of assisted reproduction. Women and their partners can be at risk for physical and mental harm in their endeavors to reproduce. The Act states that all persons are affected by these technologies (Assisted Human Reproduction Act). For many, the desire to have children is so strong that pain, cost, and ethical concerns do not deter them. In this quest many individuals endure considerable pain and stress to achieve a "normal" family."
