    The document describes six assisted reproductive technologies: artificial insemination, oocyte donation, in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, gamete intrafallopian transfer, and zygote intrafallopian transfer. It also lists eight substances that can cause birth defects: alcohol, caffeine, cigarettes, illicit drugs, prescription drugs, excess or insufficient vitamins, starvation, and viral infection.

    ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

    Technology Description
    Artificial insemination Donated sperm is placed in a woman’s reproductive tract.
    Oocyte donation A donor’s oocyte is placed in a woman’s reproductive tract with the prospective
    father’s sperm.
    In vitro fertilization (IVF) Sperm fertilizes an oocyte in a laboratory dish; the two to six day old pre-embryo
    is placed in the woman’s uterus.
    Intracytoplasmic sperm injection Variant of in vitro fertilization in which a sperm cell is directly injected into an
    (ICSI) egg.
    Gamete intrafallopian transfer Oocytes are collected and placed with sperm into a woman’s uterine tube;
    (GIFT) fertilization occurs in the woman’s body.
    Zygote intrafallopian transfer Sperm fertilizes an oocyte in a laboratory dish; the zygote is placed in a woman’s
    (ZIFT) uterine tube 24 hours later.

    Substances that cause birth defects


    1. Alcohol – impaired intellect, ranging from minor to severe learning disabilities.
    2. Caffeine – reduce blood flow in fetus, low birth weight, a small head size in the newborn.
    3. Cigarettes – miscarriage, still birth and prematurity.
    4. Illicit drugs – poor fetal growth and low birth weight.
    5. Prescription drugs – (thalidomide – treatment for morning sickness in pregnant) – causes severe limb shortening
    6. Excess or insufficient vitamins – miscarriage, defects in heart, nervous system and the face.
    7. Starvation - miscarriage, low birth weight, short stature, tooth decay, delayed sexual development, intellectual
    disabilities, type 2 diabetes.
    8. Viral infection – deafness, cataracts, heart disease, intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy
