Assisted reproductive technology: Boon and bane
Infertility is a major concern worldwide. In 1972, birth of the first test tube baby, Louise Brown, set the tone for greater progress
in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Since then, ART procedures have become routine around the world. It has
resulted in the birth of over five million babies worldwide. Although the extensive efforts to improve fertility have been much
welcomed, research has shown that there are associated risks with either ART or infertility. Literature has brought forth evidence
regarding birth defects, abnormalities in genomic imprinting and cardiovascular risks. This warrants a need for more thorough
studies of the safety ART procedures.
