{{Main|Assisted reproductive technology}}
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the use of reproductive technology to treat low fertility or [[infertility]]. Modern technology can provide infertile couples with assisted reproductive technologies. The natural method of reproduction has become only one of many new techniques used today. There are millions of couples that do not have the ability to reproduce on their own because of infertility and therefore, must resort to these new techniques. The main causes of infertility are that of [[Hormone|hormonal]] malfunctions and anatomical abnormalities.<ref name=":2" /> ART is currently the only form of assistance for individuals who, for the time being, can only conceive through [[surrogacy]] methods).<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Campo H, Cervelló I, Simón C | title = Bioengineering the Uterus: An Overview of Recent Advances and Future Perspectives in Reproductive Medicine | journal = Annals of Biomedical Engineering | volume = 45 | issue = 7 | pages = 1710–1717 | date = July 2017 | pmid = 28028711 | doi = 10.1007/s10439-016-1783-3 | s2cid = 4130310 }}</ref> Examples of ART include [[In vitro fertilisation|''in vitro'' fertilization (IVF)]] and its possible expansions, including:
