This procedure gives two people, who could not have children naturally, the chance of raising their own biological child. The way that this procedure is being performed today is unethical and it can cause complication for the mother and the child that is created by IVF, but the motives are good, is there a way that this procedure could ever be considered ethical?

In order to get enough eggs the woman must undergo hormone therapy, so she can hyperovulate. Typically after the hormone therapy process the doctor is able to extract ten to twenty eggs.
