P-174: Right to Treatment with Assisted Reproductive Technology

Background: Infertility leads to profound human suffering, particularly on the women. Women's lack of pregnancy is both physically and socially visible, especially in high fertility societies where women are typically blamed for reproductive failures, even in cases of male infertility. Childless women are more likely to be the victims of domestic violence and may also endure various forms of verbal and emotional abuse perpetrated by their husband and husband's family members. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is used for infertility treatments and is also known as fertility treatment. Materials and Methods: For this study, original and review articles from data bases such as Pub Med and Science Direct were used. Results: Infertility is a topical problem in gynecology, which requires delicate approach, analysis and treatment. Accessing to assisted reproductive technologies is right for any infertile couple. Reproductive rights must encompass the right to facilitate fertility when fertility is threatened. For millions of couples in low-resource countries, particularly those facing tubal or male infertility, facilitation of fertility may require resort to ARTs. The High costs of ART is prevents people with disabilities from using ART as a means to parenthood. Most assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are not covered by insurance and the patient has to pay “out-of-pocket,” often leading to increased stress as well as long-term financial burdens. Conclusion: Effective infertility treatments and ARTs must be accessible in the people especially resource-poor and mostly rural nations of the low income world.
