In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Fusion of Sperm and Egg

Text

The obtained oocyte and the prepared semen sample are placed in a dish to enable fertilization under artificial conditions (insemination). This happens at the end of 14- 26 hours after insemination. Many embryos are allowed to develop. If fertilization

occurs, the resultant cell (zygote) cleaves to form two, four and eight cells over several days.

In the past decade, individuals have decried the concept of â€œdesigner babiesâ€ - using genetic manipulation to create kids to parentsâ€™ specifications. Critics are slamming the practice for making humans a commodity like a steak, though there are several practical applications involved such as staying away from horrible genetic disorders.
