Artificial insemination
Project highly controversial even in Trump’s party
Donald Trump, who sees himself as the "father of fertilization", has signed a decree for easier access to in-vitro fertilization. The costs for couples with an unfulfilled desire to have children are to be reduced, the US President promised the press at his Mar-A-Lago estate on Tuesday.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "I think the women and families, husbands, will be very grateful for this," Trump said of his measure. The decree gives Trump's advisers 90 days to deliver proposals for securing access to IVF and for "aggressive" cost reductions. In vitro fertilization is fertilization that is carried out in a test tube. Eggs are retrieved from the woman, which are then fertilized with the partner's sperm.
Trump has spoken out in favor of easier access to IVF in the past, for example during the presidential election campaign last year, when he announced that he wanted to make IVF procedures free of charge if he was re-elected. He was heavily criticized for this by some conservative voters.
Even Trump's vice president is against plans
Some anti-abortion activists, who believe that life begins at conception, are also against IVF for this reason. The process can create multiple embryos, not all of which are used. Opinions are also divided within Trump's Republican Party. Almost all Republican senators voted against easier access to IVF last June, including Vice President JD Vance.
