Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a large group of techniques and procedures which are designed to assist infertile couples who wish to have children. This medical field exploded in the 1970s, with the development of in vitro fertilization, and it becomes increasingly advanced with each year. Although various definitions have been used, ART includes all fertility treatments in which both eggs and sperm are manipulated. In general, ART involves surgically removing eggs from a woman's ovaries, combining them with sperm in the laboratory, and returning them to the woman's body or donating them to another woman.
In addition, ART is often categorized according to whether the procedure used a woman's own eggs (non-donor) or eggs from another woman (donor) and according to whether the embryos used were newly fertilized (fresh) or previously fertilized, frozen, and then thawed (frozen).
