I have studied Biotechnology as an engineering subject and in the four years I have studied a number of ethics that come in the way of innovations in the field of biotechnology.

Issues like test tube baby, cloning, genetic engineering have raised many eyebrows saying that humans have started playing god! What are your views?

In past, if a women cannot give birth to a child, she was tortured for her infertile womb. Later science developed and people come to know different causes behind the childlessness. Modern tests and experiments were done so that woman can give birth to a child. Thus test tube baby, cloning or genetic engineering is gift to mankind. People who are suffering from the problem of impotency and infertility can very well feel the positive aspect of such inventions.
In today's world anything can be possible.Test tube babies are babies that are created in a test tube by taking one sperm cell and one egg cell and combining them. So the baby starts to develop in the test tube and is then implanted into the mothers uterus.So those women who cannot become mother can easily have child with this scientific technology.
Science has brought in a complete revolution. Now people understand that giving birth to a boy or a girl is not in the hands of a woman, we are aware of almost all the diseases and their cures, we know what we should eat and in what quantity. :)
Technology has grown so much that, we can't even think of such new variations, that technology has brought. Test tube babies have been successful and many babies are given birth with this technology.
Lots of couples having the problem of infertility nowadays including me. Test tube babies are a great solution for them. It is a gift of Human beings to suffering human beings. :dry: :dry:

My friend sister also conceived by the method of test tube baby.

There is no difference between a baby born normally and a baby born by the test tube procedure. The only process that is the fertilization of the egg by the sperm that occurs in the human body is conducted in the lab. After that the fertilized egg is placed in the woman's womb and then the baby grows normally according to the laws of nature.

I didn't get you exactly. Having a test tube baby may be costly but the technique has proved to be a boom for mankind.

Ha this also has many disadvantages also. Even a girl who is not married also can have a test tube baby.


And what is the problem if unmarried girls want to have babies through test tube procedures. I see no harm in it. :unsure:


Does our laws permit it??? Can anyone clear my doubt?
Even adapting kids have to undergo a lot of procedures.

Yes...
For those persons who have some defects, test tube babies is really a blessings. Once the baby is planted to mother's womb, it is growing as a normal baby and each and every feeling of mother can affect that kid....That's why it's told a mother should be happy while she is pregnant...should avoid even minute tensions....

I don't think there is any restriction in giving birth through test tubes procedure. As for the lengthy procedure during the adoption of child, it is done so only to ensure that the adopted child is cared for properly and not abused in any manner.

I don't think the Indian Government allows unmarried girls to have babies through test tube technique. Its still not acceptable by law in our Nation.
Now I remember a film Filhaal of Sushmita and Tabu, where Sushmita though unmarried becomes a surrogate mother for Tabu. A nice movie to watch. Debut film of Meghna Gulzar as Director

Surrogacy is gaining popularity in India now. Even Amir Khan had his baby with Kiran through surrogacy.

Yes, I read it from a health magazine 2 weeks before about this 5 million babies......
I think it's total number of babies.....
In most cases, kids are twins.
