ERADICATION OF GENETIC DISEASES. "In the future, an increasing number of people will prevent a range of genetic diseases by sidestepping the unions that create them — whether at the altar through “premarital genetic diagnosis” of genetic abnormalities, or in the petri dish through pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of embryos created using in vitro fertilization." http://lnkd.in/da2UiFh View in LinkedIn

HUMAN EMBRYO CRYOPRESERVATION. "Embryo cryopreservation is ... a component of in vitro fertilization (which generally also includes ovarian hyperstimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer) ... a study of 23 countries that almost 42,000 frozen human embryo transfers were performed during 2001 in Europe." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo_cryopreservation View in LinkedIn

REFOCUS OF DISEASE PREVENTION. "Our attention has moved beyond preventing germ-borne disease at the macro level — such as last century’s crusades to eradicate diseases like smallpox or polio — to avoiding the genetic expression of disease at the micro level — the level of individual reproduction." http://lnkd.in/da2UiFh View in LinkedIn

"EMBRYO TRANSFER refers to a step in the process of assisted reproduction in which embryos are placed into the uterus of a female with the intent to establish a pregnancy. This technique (which is often used in connection with in vitro fertilization (IVF)), may be used in humans or in animals, in which situations the goals may vary." http://lnkd.in/d3Rrcey View in LinkedIn

FIRST HUMAN ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION "occurred in 1884: a Philadelphia professor of medicine took sperm from his "best looking" student to inseminate an anesthetized woman. The woman was not informed about the procedure, unlike her infertile husband. The case was reported 25 years later in a medical journal." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_insemination View in LinkedIn

LOW TEMPERATURE SURVIVAL IN NATURE. "In this paper, we summarize research concerning how these creatures survive in low temperatures. Freezing places these creatures in suspended animation, but it does not kill them." http://www.frc.org/content/the-viability-of-frozen-human-embryos-lessons-from-animal-research View in LinkedIn
