GIFT
ZIFT
(i)
It is a method of ART is which ovum collected from a woman is transferred to the fallopian tube of another woman.
In this method, the zygote or early embryo with upto 8-blastomeres is transferred into the fallopian tube of a woman for further development.
(ii)
It is advised for a woman who cannot produce functional gametes, but can provide suitable conditions for fertilisation and embryo development.
It is advised for a woman who cannot conceive but can provide suitable condition for implantation and further development of the embryo.
