Study Notes
Functions of Medical Worker in Artificial Insemination
- Informing the woman and her husband of all procedural details
- Recruitment and selection of the donor
- Actual performance of insemination
- Establishing if there are no medical-bioethical barriers to performing the procedure
Cloning Techniques
- Nuclear transfer: cloning of adult cells with nuclei of other cells
- In vitro fertilization
- Embryo donation
- Donor selection
- Embryonic sectioning (cloning): a cell divides into two parts and artificially creates two twins
Human Genome Project Objectives

- Storage of genetic information in a database
- Improving methods of analysis of genetic data
- Attempting to resolve ethical, legal, and social issues that may arise from studies
Selecting Donors
- Ensuring donors are healthy
- Ensuring semen quality is good
- Checking medical history of the donor and their family
- Ensuring no medical-bioethical barriers to performing the procedure
Types of Abortion
- Spontaneous abortion
- Therapeutic abortion
- Abortion upon request
- Criminal abortion
- Moral abortion
Medical Indications for Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy
- Fetal malformations incompatible with life/incurable
- Conditions following surgical treatment with removal of an important vital organ
- Diseases or pathological conditions that pose danger to the health and life of the pregnant woman
- Chromosomal abnormalities in the ovaries by hormonal stimulation
This quiz covers the roles of medical workers in artificial insemination procedures from bioethical and medical perspectives, including informed consent, donor selection, and performance of the procedure.
