In the armoury of medical technology that now exists for the alleviation of disease and improvement in the quality of life, there is nothing to match the unique contribution of assisted reproductive technology. There is no other life experience that matches the birth of a baby in significance and importance. The responsibility of nurturing and watching children grow and develop alters the appreciation of life and health, with a resulting long-term impact upon individuals, families and, ultimately, society. Thus, the combination of oocyte and sperm to create an embryo with the potential to develop into a unique individual cannot be regarded lightly, as merely another form of invasive medical technology, but must be treated with the respect and responsibility due to the most fundamental areas of human life.
