QCM : Designer Babies et FIV (9 questions)

Questions et réponses du QCM

1. What responsibility did politicians have concerning IVF and related practices?

They had to create the medical techniques used in IVF.
They had to prove that IVF was safe for future generations.
They had to establish rules regulating IVF and related practices.
They had to decide whether every embryo could develop naturally.

They had to establish rules regulating IVF and related practices.

Explication

Politicians were responsible for establishing regulations governing IVF and related practices. Developing and using the technique was the role associated with medical professionals, not politicians.

2. Why did Louise Brown’s birth give hope to millions of childless couples?

It demonstrated that couples could reproduce without medical assistance
It showed that IVF could help them have children
It proved that pregnancy could develop outside the woman’s body
It allowed every childless couple to conceive naturally

It showed that IVF could help them have children

Explication

Louise Brown’s birth gave hope because IVF offered a way for childless couples to have children. The technique assists reproduction medically; it does not reproduce naturally or guarantee conception for every couple.

3. What does in vitro fertilisation involve?

Fertilising an egg and sperm in a tube to create an embryo
Implanting an embryo in a tube so that it becomes a foetus
Fertilising an egg and sperm inside the body to create an embryo
Allowing a foetus to develop in a laboratory before implantation

Fertilising an egg and sperm in a tube to create an embryo

Explication

IVF is a technique in which an egg and sperm are fertilised in a tube, producing an embryo. Natural fertilisation takes place inside the body, so that description does not define IVF.

4. What happened after Louise Brown’s birth in 1978?

Millions of babies were later born through IVF
Louise Brown remained the only baby born through IVF
Natural conception was replaced by laboratory fertilisation
IVF births continued but remained limited to England

Millions of babies were later born through IVF

Explication

Since 1978, millions of babies have been born through IVF. Louise Brown was the first IVF baby, but many others were born through the technique afterwards.

5. Why did the Church question in vitro fertilisation?

Because it challenged the traditional belief that God creates life
Because it prevented medical professionals from treating infertility
Because it made politicians responsible for developing the technique
Because it removed the possibility of creating a supportive family environment

Because it challenged the traditional belief that God creates life

Explication

The Church questioned IVF because it seemed to challenge the traditional belief that God is the creator of life. The view that IVF was a reproductive breakthrough belonged instead to medical professionals.

6. Which sequence correctly describes the IVF process?

Fertilisation in the womb, embryo creation in a tube, then foetal development in the laboratory
Fertilisation in a tube, embryo creation, implantation in the womb, then foetal development
Embryo creation in the womb, implantation in a tube, then foetal development inside the body
Fertilisation in a tube, foetal development in the tube, then implantation in the womb

Fertilisation in a tube, embryo creation, implantation in the womb, then foetal development

Explication

During IVF, the egg and sperm are fertilised in a tube, an embryo is created, and the embryo is implanted in the woman’s womb, where it can develop into a foetus. A key distinction is that the embryo is created in the tube, whereas the foetus develops in the womb.

7. On what date and at what time did Louise Brown become the first person born through IVF?

July 25, 1978, at 10.47pm
July 25, 1978, at 11.47pm
June 25, 1978, at 11.47pm
July 25, 1979, at 11.47pm

July 25, 1978, at 11.47pm

Explication

Louise Brown was born on July 25, 1978, at 11.47pm, making her the first person born through IVF. The most plausible confusion is the later year, but babies born after her could not be the first IVF babies.

8. Where was Louise Brown born, and where was she conceived?

In Manchester, England, after being conceived in a laboratory
In London, England, after being conceived inside the body
In Manchester, England, after being conceived inside the body
In Oxford, England, after being conceived in a laboratory

In Manchester, England, after being conceived in a laboratory

Explication

Louise Brown was born in Manchester, England, and her conception took place in a laboratory. The closest misconception confuses laboratory conception with natural conception, which takes place inside the body.

9. Why can IVF be considered morally questionable?

Because it may be seen as playing with nature and disrespecting natural creation.
Because it makes the traditional belief in divine creation easier to defend.
Because it prevents people from supporting children in suitable environments.
Because it transfers responsibility for medical research from doctors to politicians.

Because it may be seen as playing with nature and disrespecting natural creation.

Explication

IVF can raise moral concerns when it is understood as playing with nature and showing disrespect for the natural way of creating life. The idea that IVF strengthens traditional religious belief contradicts this ethical criticism.
