Are children born using this technique the same as other children?
Yes. Having monitored thousands of children all over the world who were born using these techniques (artificial insemination, IVF, thawed embryos, ICSI), it has been proven that they have the same risk of genetic anomalies, birth defects, etc. as the rest of the population.
It is only in certain forms of male sterility of genetic origin and when is used that there is a risk that the male sterility will be transmitted to a male child, meaning that the child will also eventually have to use this technique if he wishes to become a father.
