In answering the question above, I would have to give my definite “yes”. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an absolutely voluntary act which is not imposed on the woman or the man. Particularly, when a woman chooses IVF she is fully conscious of her choice and knows what she is signing up for. Sure, there are numerous potential side effects to the procedure, but this is also true for other fertilization procedures. While some may argue that IVF is contrary to the natural flow of things, I would have to refute this argument.
First and foremost, IVF offers an opportunity for a woman who is unable to conceive to bear a child. At the same time, IVF certainly does not guarantee pregnancy. Yet, it offers an additional chance for the woman and the couple to have a child. What is more, women who do not have a partner and wish to become mothers, can turn to IVF as one of the potential solutions. In fact, I do not see why anyone would consider IVF unethical. In addition, I see no reason for IVF to be discredited. Scientific progress has made a significant leap over the past century and this fertilization procedure is one of the manifestations of this evolutionary process. Thus, why would one want to deny the progress which has been made by humans?
To conclude, I support IVF and think that it should be an option for women to choose. Furthermore, I believe that each individual has the right to decide which path is best for her. Someone, might turn to adoption. Others, who have the will and necessary financial resources, might want to give IVF a chance. As a matter of fact, why not? To cut a long story short, the more options out there – the better.
