During the last three decades, we have witnessed the overwhelming growth of different assisted reproductive techniques within the field of human infertility. In all these years, many questions have emerged regarding the ethical limits of these treatments, and the rights of patients and doctors to push the boundaries of the commencement of human life, putting the life of millions of human embryos at risk. In this area there are three key principles to consider the medical therapy for infertile couples as an assistance and not as a substitution of the conjugal act: first, to encourage that sexual relations take place as part of the treatment; second, to systematically obtain the gametes from the couple themselves and not from donors, and finally, to take care of human embryos with the same respect as a human adult deserves. In accordance to these principles, there are some reproductive techniques without embryo manipulation: ovarian stimulation and programmed intercourse, gamete transfer and intravaginal culture of gametes (INVO).
