Ethical issues on Reproductive technology 
Ethics is the matter of the heart and when we discuss the heart we will all ways have conflict. Just for the simple fact that ethics in dealing with assisted reproductive technology is like a domino effect, when you answer one question another one arises. When we bring up the law in the United States about marital status and assisted reproductivetechnology (ART) you must be in a stable relationship, but what I found interesting is they have yet to define a couple, the relationship. Legislation does not allow discretion or the possibility that it was used, there is no grey area. Who qualifies; infertile couples, only married couples, gay couples, lesbian couples, HIV-positive couples what about the 60 year old couple that wants a baby. We areforgetting the single women who want babies also, who made up the rule that if you’re single you can not raise a child as well as a married couple. When bringing up people, we will naturally bring up autonomy. 
Autonomy and how much of it is right by law. Autonomy is the right to self-government, moral principles we set up for ourselves. What about the respect for the patient’s autonomy? What aboutthe patient’s right to choose what she or the couple sees fit. For example a wife would like to be implanted with six embryos. While the doctor may say that it is an unsafe venture, the couple feels that it is their bodies, lives and choice who is the physician to decide the suitable number for them. When we start to discuss embryos we bring up more issues in dealing with donor anonymity,alternative sources of donor eggs and arguments against and for donation. 
Donation is a very tender subject, because in nature’s way of doing things in having plain sexual intercourse we left the baby’s characteristics up to chance where as in technology we can do so many things to alter, exploit and to ultimately pick and choose the design of our child. I don’t know how to say in words parents aresuppose to love unconditionally no matter if the child came out with brown eyes and you wanted green. While ethics argues for justice and reproductive tourism, which basically states if I don’t qualify in the United States I should be able to travel to Canada to get the procedure done or the donation come from Canada. Donation issues also bring up other arguments such as, the alternative supply fordonor eggs. Should we be allowed to take eggs and ovaries from aborted female fetuses or woman who has died or what’s sharing a couple eggs between friends. What bout donor anonymity which one weighs more, the right of the privacy of the donor; the right of the child to know his or her origins or is it the rights of the parents. How would you feel to be never born if your parents decided that yourof the life wasn’t as valuable only because you weren’t the right sex? To put a title on the topic it’s called PGD. 
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis or also known as PGD is the screening of cells from pre-implantation embryos for the detection of genetic and/or chromosomal disorders before embryo transfer. Major ethical views have been questioned when it comes to PGD, for example a women ispregnant with a baby boy who will be a tissue and a lifesaver for his older brother. Doctor Bill Glasson the president of the Australian Medical Association says “if the intent to create another child that is disease free and can help the sibling then it could be morally correct, but if the intent is to create an embryo that is compatible with the sick child and in doing so discards a series ofother embryos, then the process has to be questioned.” He goes on further to say that it is a difficult choice to make only because we are not born with the habit of telling the truth all the time and to be completely frank that is not in the best interest of either child. We have dabbled around this topic the risks and the benefits.
