Having children is an extremely important event in the life of individuals, particularly married couples. The success and advancement attributed to invention of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in developed countries, and developing countries such as Nigeria has now made it possible for infertile persons and couples who would otherwise have been unable to conceive and bear children to now have children. However, despite the feats and advancement of medical science in this area, infertility or inability to conceive remains a problem of global proportions. In many developing countries, particularly sub-Sahara countries like Nigeria, ARTs and other related services remain ill-regulated and expensive, leading to abuse, exploitation and commodification.
