Please be respectful of differing opinions and professional in your posting. This is meant to be an open discussion of the reality of infertility that impacts many couples and the options they may be presented with. You will be graded on supporting your answer with evidence from your cited sources. There are many correct and acceptable answers.

What is meant by infertility? How common is it?

Please discuss options available to infertile couples. Do you agree that they are ethical? Why or why not?

Question 2

Watch the following video on prenatal development. Using these sources and any other source including your textbook reading on the harmful effects of one particular teratogen that became known as the “Tragedy of Thalidomide”, answer the questions that follow.

1. Discuss the three stages of prenatal development from the germinal stage, to embryonic to the fetal stage.

2. What are teratogens and when do they have their strongest influence? Please describe at least one that can harm developing babies today (beyond thalidomide as was shown in the video).

Be sure to use proper citation and paraphrase into your own words.
