  A) a civil court case in which a judge grants permission for the couple to proceed with
  surrogacy.
  B) the use of a surrogate who is selected from a state-recognized list of approved surrogates.
  C) the drafting of a detailed contract between the surrogate mother and the couple.
  D) a covert and illegal arrangement between the couple and the potential surrogate mother.

  C) IVF is most common among women who have a history of elective abortion.

Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
A formal, contractual relationship is usually established. The couple who wishes to
have the child agrees to pay all expenses associated with the pregnancy, and to pay the
surrogate mother an agreed sum for her time and involvement In a few states, however, such
arrangements are illegal. A court case is not required and approval of a particular surrogate
mother is not the jurisdiction of the state.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
: In IVF, several fertilized ova are usually returned to the uterus to ensure that at least
one will survive. If more than one implants successfully, it is possible for the mother to have
multiple births. The alternative to this potential is the abortion of one of more of the implanted
ova, a practice that is controversial. IVF may or may not use sperm from an anonymous donor
and is not normally performed without the awareness or consent of the woman's partner. IVF
is not normally necessitated by prior elective abortions.
