Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major ethical issue in this scenario is determining whether some embryos should be terminated to reduce the risks associated with multiple pregnancies. This is a complex issue that requires careful consideration of the potential benefits and drawbacks of such a decision. Additionally, government programs, funding, and access to technology for certain groups are important ethical considerations, but they are not as pressing as the issue of embryo termination.
