Answer

Some methods to assist infertile couples to have children are:
  • Test tube baby programme:
The ova from the wife/ donor (female) and sperms from the husband/ donor (male) are collected and are induced to form zygote under simulated conditions in the laboratory. Then, zygote produced is then transferred into the fallopian tube of a normal female.
  • Gamete Intra fallopian transfer (GIFT):
Transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube of another female who cannot produce ova, but can provide suitable environment for fertilisation.
  • Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI):
A sperm is directly injected into the ovum.
  • Artificial insemination (Al):
The semen collected either from the husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced either into the vagina or into the uterus of the female.
