When infertile couples seek treatments, and they fail, should in vitro fertilization and surrogacy be legally available as an option, so that at least one member of the couple can have a child of his/her own? What is both morally and legally problematic about this? Could scarce medical resources and personnel be better spent on other things than catering to the needs of such couples? What of surrogate motherhood in general? Is this a good thing that we should encourage? Now that test tube babies are common place, we have gotten used to it. Will the same thing happen with other reproductive technologies like cloning? Give reasons for holding your view.
