Families that have tay sach’s disease often do this.Cell-Free Fetal DNA- NONinvasive test- Sample of blood taken from pregnant woman after 10wks- Research suggests it can detect 99% of down syndrome pregnancies.- Used in high-risk pregnancies- At this pt. may not be covered by insuranceINFERTILITY- Failure to conceive after 12mo.

PSYC220 1st EditionLecture 5 have at least 1 biological child, but have trouble conceiving a 2nd child.- Is it related to gender?o 35-40% female partnero 35-40% male partnero 20% both parentso 10% unknownCauses:WOMEN- Indirectly delayed childbearing: more women postponing childbearing (careers > family, etc)o Climacteric: period in men&women where fertility declines in middle-adulthood.  Women: decrease in ovulation, unpredictable, farther apart, erratic.- By 48-50y.o most women stop ovulating- STD/STI: STI’s in women are often asymptomatic (have symptoms but they don’t show) o Chlamydia -> scarring of fallopian tubes -> damage reproductive tracts of women- Genetic: chromosome issues (ex: having all the chromosomes you need but they’re not in the right places), genetic factors that infl. whether you ovulate regularly or not, etc.- Environmental: o Cannot test drugs to see if they’re safe for pregnant women. Ethically/morally wrong: can’t test a group of pregnant women with drugs & without and try to see the damage on the fetus.o DES: given to women who were at high risk for spontaneous abortion. FLAW: Did NOT prevent spontaneous abortion. But still prescribed because the sales were high Little girls who were not sexually active were developing cervical cancer (linked to human papilloma STI). Because their mothers were DES exposed.- Malformed cervix Only 1/3 DES exposed women are successful in childbirth Carrying a son while on DES -> prone to testicular cancer- Weight gain: overweight -> less predictable ovulationo Underweight: need certain % body fat to ovulateo Long-term: women who don’t ovulate (ex: athletes, eating disorders)  Infertility (even when you have enough body fat)- Drug/Alcohol useThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

INFERTILITY ISSUESo Cost: insurance only covers about 2 cycles because of the low success-rateo What to do with extra frozen zygotes?o Store them o Destroy themo Donate to a couple who can’t make their owno Donate them for researcho Surrogate motherhood: chance that surrogate wants to keep the child.o Relationship with surrogate post-birtho Restrictions on behavior: dieto Case where surrogate birthed a down syndrome child and the couple didn’t want it anymore o Multiple births: can happen naturally but if GIFT, ZIFT, ICSI are used it increases risko Selective terminationo Pre-maturityPremature Babieso Increased by 29% since 1981These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
