James D. Watson

One-third of all female infertility is the result of blocked fallopian tubes. If fertilization could be done in the lab and then the fertilized egg implanted in the womb, it would get around that problem. Millions of women who cannot have children would suddenly be able to.

American Scientist

Paul Broun

As a physician, I know that human life begins with fertilization, and I remain committed to ending abortion in all stages of pregnancy. I will continue to fight this atrocity on behalf of the unborn, and I hope my colleagues will support me in doing so.

American Politician

Tim Hunt

The idea was to study fertilization in as many different phyla and organisms as possible, using the simplest possible equipment and a microscope. Biochemical approaches were not much in vogue, and running gels impossible at first.

British Scientist

Francis Collins

If you are in support of in vitro fertilization, then you have to recognize that human embryos are being created in excess of what can be used safely to reimplant for a pregnancy. So they're going to end up being discarded.

Soren Kierkegaard

There are, as is known, insects that die in the moment of fertilization. So it is with all joy: life's highest, most splendid moment of enjoyment is accompanied by death.

Danish Philosopher

Lois Capps

Each year thousands of embryos, no bigger than the head of a pin, are created in the process of in vitro fertilization, with the support of Congress, by the way.

Ron Reagan

You cannot be against embryonic stem cell research and be intellectually and therefore morally consistent, if you're not also against in vitro fertilization.

American Journalist

George C. Williams

The moment-of-conception fallacy implies that fertilization is a simple process with never a doubt as to whether it has or has not happened.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Neither sex, without some fertilization of the complimentary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor.

French Philosopher

Leon Kass

Nobody knew in advance that in vitro fertilization would be, by and large, safe.

American Educator

Focuses on the reproductive cells joining which initiates development of a new organism.

Biological Union

Involves pollen in plants, often confused with pollination which is the transfer, not the union.

Pollination Link

Used purposely in farming and research to combine desired traits from parents.

Selective Breeding

Concerns making soil richer and better for supporting plant growth.

Soil Improvement

Can include a variety of substances like compost, chemicals, or natural minerals.

Not Just Manure

Helps plants grow more vigorously and yield more produce.

Growth Assistance

A scientific method to help with human reproduction, often in a lab setting.

Medical Procedure

Can be a sensitive subject for those who struggle with fertility issues.

Emotional Significance

It may raise ethical questions about reproduction and parental rights.

Ethical Discussions

 As that becomes possible this is going to move from something that is used by those who have infertility problems and are already doing in vitro fertilization, to the wealthy who want to protect their children, to just about everybody else. And in that process that's going to morph from being just for diseases,

 So what are assisted reproductive technologies? Assisted reproductive technologies are things like in vitro fertilization. And when you do in vitro fertilization, there's very good reasons to do it. Sometimes you just can't conceive otherwise. But when you do that,

 death by parasite is not one of the top ways that people die, at least not in the technologically developed world. From antibiotics to surgery, birth control to in vitro fertilization, the filters for reproductive success are being relaxed.

 scientists still haven’t observed mating in the wild, or found a single eel egg. Leading theories suggest that eels reproduce in a flurry of external fertilization, in which clouds of sperm fertilize free-floating eggs.
