Artificial ovary could allow women to become mothers after cancer treatment without risk, say scientists | The Independent

“The ability to successfully create a ‘new ovary’, by removing any tissue that might potentially reintroduce the cancer and fashioning a scaffold on which to grow the egg-containing follicles​, allows the reimplantation of a ‘safe’ ovary, with the potential to successfully restore fertility.”

Comment: A huge obstacle in fertility treatments involving implantation of an embryo is the creation of more than one fertilized embryo (i.e. a real living human being) which are later destroyed. The article is not as specific as one could wish, but it seems to suggest that this procedure would avoid that problem. An interesting development, but Christians must be careful to think through the ethics as such treatments come online. — dcsj
