Abstract: Now, 30 years after the birth of Louise Brown, the first IVF baby, it is relevant to assess how the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) have affected reproductive practices and our view of reproduction. Has ART medicalized and technologised reproduction, and if so does that raise any ethical problems? Are there, for instance harmful effects of medicalization, or has the developments reduced the freedom of some people?
