Answer to Question 1

In vitro fertilization involves conception outside of the body (e.g., in a Petri dish). Ethical concerns include a parent's right to select specific traits and the high costs, which tend to not be covered by insurance. Eugenics is an effort to improve humans by allowing only certain individuals to mate and pass along genes.

Answer to Question 2

Prematurity describes babies born before the 36th week after conception. Low birth weight describes newborns who weigh less than 5.5 pounds (1500 grams). Extremely low birth weight describes newborns who weigh less than 2.2 pounds (1000 grams).
