there is an equal chance of the capability of both non-obstructive and obstructive Azoospermia men to conceive child through IVF treatments. What is the treatment for Azoospermia?

PGD – Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis. IVF is known as in vitro fertilisation. This procedure is done by removing an egg from a female, and a sperm cell from the male and combining the egg and sperm in a test tube. These two then form together and create a zygote, which then begins separating into and forming an embryo . PGD, is the pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. It is known as the pre testing of pre-implanted embryos for genetic disorders. This operation has been put into place for couples

Introduction Prenatal development refers to a series of development stages that begins from the fertilization of the egg by the sperm cell to the onset of birth process. It begins with the formation of the zygote to the development of the fetus. It involves three major stages namely, germinal stage, embryonic stage and fetal stage. (Balinsky, 1975) The developmental stages take place partly in the fallopian tube and in the uterus. It usually takes a period of nine month in human being but varies

Designer babies are children that are born from embryos that have been genetically modified, or genetically screened, forms of IVF (In Vitro fertilisation). The embryo is removed from the female, put in a Petri dish and fertilised with the father's sperm, where the genetic structure of the embryo (in some cases it can be an immature egg cell; an oocytes) is analysed. With genetic screening, the embryos containing the undesired traits, such as sever health issues, are terminated. When the correct

relationship between longevity and quality of life. For example, with hundreds of thousands of test tube babies living in the world, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become much more common.
