Created by StemPy LabDoctors can learn about a developing baby by testing the fluid around it. The same test was misused, so the law now bans it for finding the sex. This lesson also explains medical termination of pregnancy: what it is, why the law allows it, and why timing matters.
Some infections pass from person to person by sexual contact. Several of them also spread by needles, by blood and from mother to child. They often give few signs in the beginning, so they are found late. This lesson lists them and shows how to prevent them.
Many couples cannot have a child, for many different reasons. Doctors may help them with assisted reproductive technologies. In IVF, the ovum and the sperms meet in a laboratory, and the embryo is placed in the body of the woman. This lesson shows where each technique places the gametes or the embryo.
