Question

which statement most correctly describes surrogacy? a. artificially inseminating sperm from an infertile man into a fertile woman b. implanting a fertilized egg into the uterus of the woman from whom the egg was taken c. fertilizing an egg in a laboratory and implanting the fertilized egg into another womans uterus d. extracting a fertilized egg from a woman and implanting it into another womans uterus

Explanation:

Surrogacy typically involves fertilizing an egg (either the genetic egg of the intended mother or a donor egg) in a laboratory through in - vitro fertilization (IVF) and then implanting the fertilized egg (embryo) into the uterus of a surrogate woman. Option C describes this process. Option A is artificial insemination, Option B is a part of in - vitro fertilization but not the full surrogacy process, and Option D is incorrect as the egg is fertilized first before transfer.

Answer:

C. fertilizing an egg in a laboratory and implanting the fertilized egg into another woman's uterus
