===Assisted Reproduction===
Assisted reproduction is a term that applies to an array of methods of having a baby in ways other than the traditional method. Examples include situations where there is only one parent who wishes to have a child, if one partner is incapable of having children, if same-sex partners wish to have a child or if a couple wish to include another person as the parent of their child. The methods include egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy.
