Can We Talk About Sex? Abstract: A three–year–old female undergoes elective inguinal hernia repair and unexpectedly is found to have testes in the hernia sacs. A recommendation is made not to disclose the patient’s genotype to her mother. This case study addresses the ethical conflict of whether to disclose the patient’s male genotype to the parent that has been raising the child as female. This case highlights the ethical risks and potential consequences later in life of not disclosing a patient’s CAIS diagnosis and treatment. Conversely, what would the consequences be for disclosing?

A married American lady named Vicky T., has been married for 7 years and has not been blessed with even a single child. With the consent of her husband, she decided to take fertility pills with the hope that with that medical procedure she would bear a baby. After taking the pills for 14 months, she conceived and was on the start of the 2nd trimester. In her usual check-up with her OB-Gyne, and after an ultrasound procedure, her hope to have a baby had risen to unprecedented proportions. She was told that she was carrying seven (7) babies in her womb. According to her OB-Gyne, she would not be able to have all the babies delivered as the seven would stress too much her uterus and this could be fatal to her and all her babies. Therefore, three of the designated weak babies would have to be removed before the end of the 2nd trimester. Vicky T., got confused and was in limbo. She wanted to be guided whether the procedure was ethical or not. If so, any guilt feelings she felt would be…

Would ISCI be an option? Why or why not? Jan, a 32-year-old woman, and her husband, Darryl, have been married for 7 years. They have attempted to have a baby on several occasions. Five years ago, they had a first-trimester miscarriage, followed by an ectopic pregnancy later the same year. Jan continued to see her OB/GYN physician for infertility problems but was very dissatisfied with the response. After four miscarriages, she went to see a fertility specialist, who diagnosed her with severe endometriosis and polycystic ovarian disease (detected by hormone studies). The infertility physician explained that these two conditions were hampering her ability to become pregnant and thus making her infertile. She referred Jan to a genetic counselor. At the appointment, the counselor explained to Jan that one form of endometriosis (MIM 131200) can be a genetic disorder, and that polycystic ovarian disease can also be a genetic disorder (MIM 184700) and is one of the most common reproductive disorders among women. The counselor recommended that a detailed family history of both Jan and Darryl would help establish whether Jans problems have a genetic component and whether any of her potential daughters would be at risk for one or both of these disorders. In the meantime, Jan is taking hormones, and she and Darryl are considering alternative modes of reproduction. Using the information in Figure 16.4, explain the reproductive options that are open to Jan and Darryl.
