assisted reproduction
Lab-aided conception
Assisted reproduction refers to medical procedures that help achieve pregnancy when natural conception isn't possible or likely.
The term covers techniques like artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and surrogacy.
They turned to assisted reproduction after years of trying to conceive naturally.
The phrase often appears in legal and ethical debates about parentage, genetic selection, and reproductive rights.
