Reproductive Assistance For various reasons, a woman could be unable to achieve pregnancy or conceive via natural means. However, thanks to recent advances in biotechnology, artificial methods can now be used to help such women achieve pregnancy. Assisted reproductive technology is defined by Morrison as "any of a number of alternative ways to reproduce children."1(p409) In the past, issues to do with reproductive assistance have triggered widespread debate. An issue of key concern in this case remains whether or not it can be considered ethical to reproduce children via other means other than natural conception. It is however important to note that for some reason, i.e. infertility, some couples who would have loved to have children may not be able to do so.

By means of automation, specialized works that were predominantly done by men in the manufacturing industries situated in the developed nations were diminished. Conversely, non-specialized jobs mainly in the electronic parts manufacturing industries, particularly the microchip, in which unskilled women in a number of developing nations find employment, became bigger. Thus, the electronic parts manufacturers, instead of investing in huge capital-based units, had favored to make use of manual
