Some women get pregnant and they abort due to various reasons. The women who want to have a child can’t but now through artificial insemination women can get pregnant. However, the negative side of this is that with artificial insemination, you never know how many babies you will conceive. This results in having too many babies that won’t survive or sometimes the women get reduction done, meaning they kill off the number of babies conceived. Reduction most of the time is done for health reasons, because with more babies, the women and the fetus have a higher chance of being in danger. Even if 9 fetuses are carried to term, the woman needs a caesarian to get the babies out which will lead to complications. The babies who are born are weak and need extra care, some of them might not survive. In both cases having artificial insemination causes you to choose to have abortion. There is also the factor that with artificial insemination you are choosing the characteristics of your baby, it’s not naturally conceived.
Religious groups and anti-abortionists have a field day with this. Just from one procedure, there are too many deaths, not to mention the unnatural process to pick what characterisitcs you want in your child. What if someone wants to create a superior race as many as they want?Hopefully in the future they find a way to select how many you can conceive at a time. People don’t like surprises when they have to take care of nine kids all at once. For the people who are against abortion, they’ll risk it and carry the babies to term, which might put a strain on them. As with the case of the octuplet’s mom, Suleman, the healthcare professionals also have a duty to care for the health of the patient. In this case, the doctors were at fault because they let her follow through with a dangerous pregnancy. They shouldn’t even have let her have IVF if she already had six other children. I thought they underwent psychological evaluation before choosing these fertility options. Personally, I wouldn’t resort to artificial insemination on the basis that it is not natural, no matter how modern the world gets, there are some things you shouldn’t do. There are plenty of kids, who are not wanted out there, help them before you help yourselves. However, as much as artificial insemination is against my beliefs, other people may have that much desire to create a child by any means. It’s their choice in the end, and whatever is comfortable for them.
