Reproductive Technologies The two articles that I have chosen involve a controversial issue that many people believe to be an unnecessary debate. I have chosen the debate over the banning of Reproductive Technologies. The technologies in the U.S alone have tripled the amount of multiple births since 1980 and quadrupled since 1971. The women whose lives have been changed by the appearance of these multiple births have been taking a powerful fertility drug called, PergonalÒ. This drug induces the ovaries to create multiple fertile eggs in order for at least one viable pregnancy to occur. Often times this drug creates multiple births, creating problems for the mother or child.
