Complete the following paragraph to describe the technologies available to help infertile couples conceive. During a process called artificial insemination, sperm from a partner or donor is inserted into a woman's vagina. This is especially useful when the male partner's sperm count is low. Sometimes, drugs are given to a woman to stimulate her ovaries to ovulate, then sperm are placed directly into the uterus, a process called . Once takes place, the resulting embryo is transferred to the woman's uterus, where, hopefully, implantation occurs. During , immature oocytes are removed from a woman's ovaries and fertilized in a petri dish with sperm. A process called is similar to the above process in that the oocyte is removed from the ovaries and incubated with sperm. However, as soon as they have been brought together, they are returned to the . Occasionally, when the male partner has severe infertility problems, it is possible to inject a single sperm into an oocyte and place the resulting embryo within a woman's uterus. This process is called . When the female partner has severe infertility problems or is unable to carry a fetus to term, can be used. This is where a contracted woman carries the resulting embryo to term and delivers the baby for the contracting parents.

Form of endometriosis (MIM 131200) can be a genetic disorder, and polycystic ovarian disease can also be a genetic disorder (MIM 184700) and is one of the most common reproductive disorders among women. The counselor recommended that a detailed family history of both Jan and Darryl would help establish whether Jan's problems have a genetic component and whether any of her potential daughters would be at risk for one or both of these disorders. In the meantime, Jan is taking hormones, and she and Darryl are considering alternative modes of reproduction. Using the information in Figure 16.4, explain the reproductive options that are open to Jan and Darryl. 1. Would ICSI be an option? Why or why not? 2. Jan is concerned about using ART. She wants to be the genetic mother and have Darryl be the genetic father of any children they have. What methods of ART would you recommend to this couple?
