Summary/Abstract: The financial support of countries in the treatment of infertility with biomedically assisted fertilization is increasing in the world. That support comes either on the basis of law, or other acts. Fertility measures in the media have been portrayed as the last hope for couples without children to achieve the desired parenting. However, research shows that assisted technology in fertility is a threat to women's health, as strong hormone therapies are used that can cause severe health disruption in women. In this paper, the author analyzes the impact of extracorporeal fertilization on endangering women's rights to health. It gives opinions and examines the views of scientists from the United Kingdom and the United States on the treatment of infertility by biomedically assisted fertilization. Points to cases where a healthy woman is being treated for infertility, and questions how it is possible for a doctor to diagnose a man as infertile and commence a woman's medical treatment. It proposes measures that the state can achieve to address demographic problems without endangering women's right to health.
