Abstract

Due to the rate at which technological advancement is occurring, it has become increasingly difficult for the medical field to address the new ethical dilemmas that arise. Many new techniques and methods call into question ethical standards that have been the norm for many years. Further, these advancements tread into new territory that can be perplexing to many. One such field that has grown by leaps and bounds is the field of reproductive endocrinology. On one hand it has allowed women who have trouble conceiving to become pregnant and has created families where there was little hope before. However, it also has created a minefield of ethical dilemmas. Due to the nature of the field there are a lot of ethical questions regarding the procedures that reproductive endocrinologists perform. Since we are now able to manipulate embryos and potentially change their genetics, people have become worried of the potential repercussions.
