Test-tube babies do not inherit reproductive problems

New research shows that men who were born as a result of pregnancy through artificial insemination do not differ in their reproductive health compared to those born as a result of a natural pregnancy, and if there is a difference, it is slight.

This finding negates the fears of inheriting infertility problems from parents.

According to the largest study to date on the health of adult men who were born from a pregnancy that was carried out by ICSI, it was found that their fertility does not differ from those born from a natural pregnancy.

The study was published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, and its research was conducted by a team from the University of South Australia and the Murdoch Childhood Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia.

Professor Robert MacLachlan said: "The good news is that poor semen quality or sterility is not necessarily passed from father to son, unlike hair or eye colour.

This study provides reassurance to fathers of young people delivered by ICSI according to AU25.
