Medicine has evolved and this has affected the types of families we can find today in our society. Before families were composed by a father, a mother and their children. Now, many families have only one child, and there are more types of families. There are families with one parent and families with two fathers and two mothers. To have children, these families have different methods, like adopting a child, in vitro fertilization or even surrogacy.
Medicine has also affected births. Many women can't give birth naturally because their pelvis is too narrow. Before these women couldn't have children, and if they wanted to have a child, both they and their babies could die when they were giving birth. Now these women give birth by caesarea, but they can pass these genes to their daughters, so their daughters can have also a narrow pelvis. Because of this, scientists have noticed that the number of children who are born by a caesarea is incresing because of these genes.
When the father is infertile or two women want to have a child, they can go to a sperm donor so they can have babies who have genes from one parent and genes from the sperm donor. In some countris like the UK the children whose father is a sperm donor don't have the right to know who their father is and this can be a problem because, although people want donors to be young and healthy, no one's perfect, and children can't prevent some diseases because they don'y know they could have them.
In my opinion all advances in medicine are good because it enables people to have a better quelity of life. These advances can make people who have dificulties in having children. Although with caesarea there are more people with a small pelvis,the percentage of children who are born by a caesarea won't be 100%. Changing terms, I also think that in countries like the UK children whose father is a sperm donor must be able to know who their father is because if they know who he is, they can prevent some diseases in the future.
