Womenś awareness of methods of assisted reproduction in the Czech Republic
Dolejšková, Michaela ; Černý, Andrej (advisor) ; Šimják, Patrik (referee)
The theme of my thesis is women's awareness about the methods of assisted reproduction in the Czech Republic. The work is devided into a theoretical part and practical part. In the theoretical part I deal with the physiology of reproductive organs of women and men, further I describe the term infertility and its causes. In the following chapters I focus on the process of finding a specialist, subsequent examinations and possible methods of assisted reproduction. In the practical part I examine the awareness of women in this area. As a data source I use an anonymous quantitative questionnaire, shared on social networks, filled in by women of different ages. 193 women completed the questionnaire. I made several hypotheses, which I confirmed or refuted thanks to the answers. Research has confirmed the hypothesis that more than half of women know when and to which doctor to address fertility problems. Subsequently, the second hypothesis was confirmed-most women know at least some of the risk factors affecting fertility. Furthermore, I assumed that most women are aware of the importance of age in the pursuit of conception. Although I confirmed the hypothesis thanks to a questionnaire survey, but not every woman knows how low the age at which fertility reduction begins to manifest. I refute the...

"Managers of Fertility": Reproductive Technology and the Women's Experiences with Assisted Reproduction
Kyselá, Andrea ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Dvořáčková, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis conceptualizes an experience of women with assisted reproduction and services offered in fertility clinics. The assisted reproduction is a medical method treating infertility. The scientific progress and the usage of new reproductive technologies bring up broad possibilities in reproduction. Regarding the biological explanation of human's life, the biomedicine discourse represents a dominant approach in reproduction and claims control over a conception of a new life. Women undergoing the assisted reproduction, which is offered in case of infertility, face new challenges related to social, economic, ethical, and legal issues. The major goal of this thesis is the analysis of an experience of women with assisted reproduction in state-funded and private fertility clinics while applying a feminist critical reading. Qualitative research is based on semi-structured interviews with women who have turned to medical experts for help and underwent the assisted reproduction or other reproductive methods to increase a chance of conception. Key words: assisted reproduction, reproduction, women's experience, reproductive medicine, fertility, gender, poststructuralism

Determination of parenthood in the light of the current status of reproductive medicine
Mervartová, Michaela ; Frinta, Ondřej (advisor) ; Thöndel, Alexandr (referee)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the determination of parenthood in the light of the current status of reproductive medicine. The importance of reproductive medicine is increasing in contemporary society in connection with the growing number of people suffering from infertility. Many infertile couples who have undergone reproductive medicine treatment have become parents through these methods. The question of legal parenthood in connection with the issue of assisted reproduction is the core part of the diploma thesis. The diploma thesis aims to perform a legal analysis of the determination of parenthood to a child born through assisted conception, to point out possible shortcomings in legal regulation and to recommend legislative amendments from the perspective of de lege ferenda. The first chapter explores effective legal regulation of maternity and paternity determination, defining the fundamental kinds of parenthood, because biological, genetic, social and legal parenthood should not be confused. The second chapter deals with assisted reproduction, which specifically manipulates human gametes. Attention is drawn to international and national legal regulation, including the question of legal parenthood of a child that has been conceived in this way. The next part of the thesis deals with...

Ethical problems of reproductive medicine
STANISLAVOVÁ, Lucie
This thesis is aimed at the ethical aspect of reproductive medicine. I tried to outline particular dilemmas dealt with by individual religions in context with medical knowledge. Elaboration of the religious part was also supported by knowledge of experts in the field. The aim of the thesis was to outline the ethical aspect of reproductive medicine. The research was aimed at showing whether young couples see ethical problems in artificial insemination nowadays and whether the ethical aspect of the issue would discourage them from this step. Quantitative method was used for the research. The method of questioning in the form of non-standardized questionnaire was chosen for the research technique. It was designed for people at productive age (from under 23 years of age through over 41) living in marriages and their partners, who are childless or have just one child. The research has shown that nearly full majority of the pairs agree with homologous insemination; however I was convinced that they might have objections against heterologous variation of artificial insemination. Nevertheless the research as well as the consequent discussion showed that the desire for a child overrides everything else at the moment, including the standpoints of the churches the pairs support and their ethical objections. The research showed the fact that a certain number of couples, if they accepted the heterologous variation of artificial insemination would prefer the donator{\crq}s anonymousness to be eliminated. However there is a question whether the anonymous donators themselves would have the same opinion. I see the contribution of this thesis in showing that desire for a child is so strong that people are ready to put their whole-life religion aside. Another plus in my opinion is at least a basic outline of opinions on the artificial insemination issues and possible objections against its heterologous variant.
