Abstract:
The use of sperm, which is indispensable for embryo formation in human assisted reproductive technology (ART), has contributed a lot to social harmony, home happiness and advancement of related science and technology. However, it also yields a series of ethical problems. Proper handling of the contradictory relationship of ethical principles with science and technology is conducive to the healthy development of human ART.
