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 $(\text{GIFT}):$
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 $(\text{ICSI}):$
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.
