Answer to Question 1

2,4
Rationale 1: Adoption is not necessarily an immediate option.
Rationale 2: The in vitro fertilization procedure is used in cases in which infertility has resulted from male infertility.
Rationale 3: Surrogacy is not necessarily an immediate option.
Rationale 4: Therapeutic husband insemination is generally indicated for such seminal deficiencies as oligospermia.
Rationale 5: The GIFT procedure is not an immediate option.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Abortion is a different type of ethical situation.
Rationale 2: Achieving pregnancy through the use of therapeutic insemination is a form of reproductive assistance, and is not considered a maternalfetal conflict.
Rationale 3: Cord-blood banking is a different type of ethical situation.
Rationale 4: Maternalfetal conflict is a special ethical situation where the rights of the fetus and the rights of the mother are considered separately. Coercion by court order to undergo operative delivery is one example of a maternalfetal conflict that infringes on the autonomy of the mother.
