For people from all walks of life, one of life’s greatest pleasures is bearing your own genetic child. Bringing your progeny into the world – a literal part of you, fills us with emotions and feelings that we otherwise were unacquainted with.

But just as true is the blessing of having a child, so is the fact that with modern life, pregnancy comes naturally to fewer and fewer people. With infertility in couples reaching to figures like 60-80 million annually globally, “childlessness” seems like a hard pill to swallow but is the reality for many. This has, however, paved the way for medical science to come forth and offer a solution. Initially deemed unacceptable, assisted reproduction is no longer frowned upon, but is accepted and acknowledged across borders. Moreover, MAR or Medically Assisted Reproduction has changed the fundamental understanding of how we procreate.
