Document Summary
Product" of in vitro lat. , in glass - fertilization (ivf) Fertilization process that happens in a petri dish: currently has a child of her own, naturally conceived, very common procedure today. Far less controversial because it is more common: ethos it has become normal so therefore we think of it as okay and acceptable. Account for over 5. 000 canadian pregnancies (cma) today. Yearly: now considered relatively unremarkable, formerly considered with suspicion . A degree of unnaturalness compared to normal reproduction because it takes place outside of body.

In the context of biology, it happens frequently (animal breeding) it does not seem that unnusually.
