Assisted reproductive techniques not only nourish great and sometimes illusive hopes of couples who yearn for babies, but also spark new debates by reversing opinions, beliefs and values. Applications made to infertility clinics are increasing due to the influences such as broadcasts made by the media concerning assisted reproductive techniques and other infertility treatments, increase in the knowledge that people have about these problems, late marriages and postponement of childbearing age owing to sociological changes. Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a technique applied to couples who are known to carry genetic diseases or who have children with genetic diseases. This technique is conducted by doctors in Turkey for its important contribution to decreasing the risk of genetic diseases and in order to raise healthy generations. In this paper, the general ethical debates and the legal situation in Turkey will be discussed.
辅助生殖技术不仅滋养了渴望生育的夫妇们伟大且有时不切实际的希望，还通过颠覆观点、信仰和价值观引发了新的争论。由于媒体对辅助生殖技术及其他不孕治疗的报道、人们对这些问题的了解增加、社会学变化导致的晚婚以及生育年龄推迟等影响，向不孕不育诊所提出的申请正在增加。植入前基因诊断（PGD）是一种应用于已知携带遗传疾病或生育过患有遗传疾病子女的夫妇的技术。在土耳其，医生开展这项技术是因为它对降低遗传疾病风险有重要贡献，也是为了培育健康的后代。本文将讨论土耳其的一般伦理争论和法律状况。
