Description
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.
