Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Stress

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the stress related to assisted conception. The writer discusses that stress operates in the opposite direction as well so that it can easily affect the outcome of such technologies as in vitro fertilization. The writer points out that while we normally think of the stress associated with reproductive technologies as affecting the parents, there are actually as many as five adults affected, and the unborn child is also certain to experience stress.

From the Paper:

"Assisted reproductive technologies create pressures along with both physical and psychological harms for a couple. "The existence of IVF has made it harder for people to live with childlessness". The attitude is that being childless is no longer an issue since all things are possible in the medical laboratory. As a result, the cost, pain and ethical concerns do not deter numerous couples from using these new technologies."
