Kinship discussions

Through IVF techniques, some old ideas of certain constellations of being "impossible", need to be considered nowadays. In Charis Thompson's book "Making Parents", she points out "Naturalizing Stratgies", that mothers use to justify kinship relations. In the 5th chapter, she points out, that for example mothers who need to use the services of a surrogate mother base their definition of kinship mostly on the given genetic relationship. On the other hand, other mothers who need to use egg-cells from another woman, still consider the baby being "theirs", basing the kinship on the fact of that they carried and gave birth to the child. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonsaipotathoe (talk • contribs) 15:19, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Student Edit- CSUEB

Hello Wiki community! I am a student at California State University East Bay, in a post-bacc program bioethics class. I have a few contributions to add to the invitro fertilisation page. Please give your feedback and own edits. I have Modified the ethical decisions in IVF with information and links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cajjen12 (talk • contribs) 23:48, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Cajjen12. Thanks for the work, but along with some possibly good amendments you have changed all the headings to max caps. According to WP:Style they should be sentence case. I have undone your edit, as the easiest way of restoring the correct style. If you wish to make the substantive changes again, please don't change the case of the headings. And it might be best to do the edits in stages, not all at once, so that others can see what you've done. Best wishes - SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 16:52, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

drugs that are used in vitro fertilization
drug side effects, DDI, monitoring, - or add links to drugs - Did not address drug drug interactions or drug side effects as their original goal stated
fertilisation vs fertilization?
Team 5b added: Updated the availability of IVF in different countries: age restriction, funding, statistics for USA with citation.
