Paper that addresses the following ethical issues surrounding assisted reproduction:

(1) What ethical dilemmas surround surrogacy and donation of egg and/or sperm? Because surrogates are paid, is this practice that exploits the poor, such as surrogate mothers in India? Why or why not?

(2) Due to the high cost of fertility treatments, doctors often place multiple eggs back into the womb. Is selective abortion moral? If parents decide to give birth to all of them, does society have an obligation to help families with multiples who are born premature with defects or who are mentally retarded? If so, how?

(3) Assess the ethical issues surrounding the medical challenges of supporting the life of extremely premature infants. Should extremely premature infants be saved at all costs? Who should make the decision for treatment when a baby is born extremely premature?
