چکیده

Perhaps he thinks that he need not bother to keep (ii) and (iii) apart because (i) supports one as much as it supports the other. We would, however, like to concentrate on (ii). Our argument is to the effect that there is a plausible view of the moral status of human embryos, according to which the truth of (ii) does not follow from the truth (i). Nor does the truth of the weaker claim (iv) follow:

I-21: Embryo Relinquishment for Reproduction

Background: The conceptualization of the transfer of embryos between the individuals who created them to one or more recipients for family-building is hotly contested – particularly as regards whether the practice should be most appropriately considered to be “donation” or “adoption”. This paper examines this debate, considering the research carried out on the intentions and decisions of those ...

Onm-8: Recurrent Implantation Failure in IVF/ICSI Cycle

The success of assisted reproduction, although gradually increasing over the years, is still less than satisfactory. Many couples have benefited from this treatment; many have also been left frustrated following multiple failed attempts (Bulent Urman et al. 2005). Repeated implantation failure (RIF), defined as three or more failed IVF attempts or failure of IVF after cumula- Abstracts of the 5...

Expression profile of developmentally important genes in pre- and peri-implantation goat embryos produced in vitro

Background Little is understood about the regulation of gene expression during early goat embryo development. This study investigated the expression profile of 19 genes, known to be critical for early embryo development in mouse and human, at five different stages of goat in vitro embryo development (oocyte, 8-16 cell, morula, day-7 blastocyst, and day 14 blastocyst). MaterialsAndMethods Stage-...

Potential of Mouse and Human Embryonic Fibroblasts to Support Mouse Embryo Development Following Exposure to Laboratory Temperature

Purpose: Present study was designed to evaluate the potential of co-culture systems to overcome deleterious effect of exposure of mouse 2-cell embryos to low temperature. Materials and Methods: 2-cell embryos were flushed from oviduct of super ovulated NMRI mice into HTF medium with 15% BSA. After washing 3 times with HBSS and with 15% BSA, embryos were exposed to laboratory temperature (LT) (...

P-65: Maternal Effect Genes in Mammalian Reproduction

Background: Regulation of gene expression in mammalian embryos is not completely known. Pre-implantation embryos need maternal RNA and proteins synthesized during oogenesis, to regulate development before mater-embryo transition, as the grown oocyte and the 1-cell zygote are transcriptionally silent. There are some oocyte-specific genes called maternal effect genes which may account for this ea...
