Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection has been associated with a slightly higher risk of birth defects compared to natural conception. However, the risk is still relatively low, with only a small increase in the absolute risk. The other options listed (spontaneous abortion, permanent infertility, and higher risk of stroke) are not well-supported risks associated with this procedure.
