Compose a focused paper that explains and describes IVF from a cultural and ethical perspective of inquiry. (You will cover two perspectives in one paper.)

• Your paper must be five pages in length and reference four to six scholarly, peer-reviewed resources. Be sure to follow current APA Style (e.g., spacing, font, headers, titles, abstracts, page numbering).
• In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves a complex series of processes and procedures conducted to help address infertility among women. This procedure is critical in preventing the spread of genetic problems and assists women to conceive. When performing IVF, mature ova are collected from the ovaries of a target woman and then fertilized in the laboratory using the available sperms. After this procedure, the embryo (fertilized egg) is transferred to a woman in the uterus. A single complete IVF cycle takes approximately three weeks. However, the process is sometimes split into various parts, making it take longer. IVF is currently considered to be the best and most effective method of addressing the issue of infertility among women using reproductive technology. However, the chances of getting a healthy child are determined by several aspects, such as the cause of infertility and the recipient’s age. Three articles have been summarized based on IVF.According to Mohamed et al. (2017), there has been a great debate regarding whether IVF is fit in society, especially in the African continent. Due to the debate on whether the practice is fit or not, the researchers decided to conduct a study to address dysovulation that contributes to infertility. The study involved 47 patients from Sub-Saharan Africa who were infertile due to dysovulation (Mohamed et al., 2017). Before IVF was conducted, the infertility of the participants was determined using hormonal check-ups while being monitored with a follicular monitoring ultrasound, and after conducting the therapy, the women conceived successfully regardless of their infertility. After Mangalore (2017) conducted a study regarding issues associated with stem cells, he found that there are several political and ethical controversies related to the practice. Some people indicated that human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are critical since they address infertility in society, while others claimed that several embryos are destroyed during the practice, which is ethically wrong (Mangalore, 2017). The aspect that influenced the emergence of a debate is the question regarding when human life starts. Those who indicated that human life starts at conception claimed that embryos are humans and therefore they should never be disturbed through transfer when growing.After Sharma et al. (2020) conducted a study on mitochondrial disorders, they found that mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) is among the best methods of terminating the disease (Sharma et al., 2020). Mitochondrial disorders are among the most serious disorders in society, while MRT is considered to be the current form of reproductive IVF that works by replacing the abnormal mitochondrial DNA from an affected woman. During the practice, polar body, pronuclear, or spindles are transferred from a healthy woman to the affected one, enabling her to have healthy mitochondria, thus reproducing children who are free from mitochondrial disorders. Though this practice contributes to a healthy society, moral issues have emerged that the reproductive system should not be altered.There are several aspects that make the articles credible. One of them is that the articles are peer-reviewed. The second aspect is that the articles were published in the past five years. Moreover, all the articles meet the purpose being addressed, which involves the ethical issues associated with IVF. Therefore, the articles can be used to address any issue associated with reproductive problems and hereditary disorders.IVF is among the current technologies associated with reproduction. There are several issues associated with the practices, whereby some people support the practice while others do not. However, the method has been successfully proved to address infertility and prevent the passing of hereditary disorders from one generation to the other.

2. Why did this event/topic make the news? Is this a global problem?

3. What are two interesting concepts you learned from the article?

4. Please note the current concentration of carbon dioxide in ppm from the graph in 2018 and this current year. You will have to google the concentration of atmospheric CO₂ of the most recent year (last year).

Once you are finished, you should have written a robust paragraph (6-15 sentences).

Students are to apply what they have learned over the course of the quarter to create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) about a physical geography concept, such as earthquakes, flooding, fires or responding to or adapting to climate change, soil depletion, acid rain, plate tectonics, hurricanes, etc…

I want you to tell me:

1. What your topic is

2. How it relates to Physical Geography, explain it in scientific terms

3. Who it is affecting?

4. When did this event start taking place or has it been occurring for a long period of time?

5. Where is this event happening? Is it happening on a global scale?

6. Why should we care?

7. What is being done for this cause? What solutions do you propose?

A reference page is required as part of this assignment.

Students will be given free rein as to the format of the PSA. Examples provided include videos, animations, Story Maps, or a poster with an infographic. See below link
