*Films and other fiction depicting contemporary emotional struggles of [[assisted reproductive technology]] have had an upswing first in the latter part of the 2000s decade, although the techniques have been available for decades.<ref name="chicagotribune">{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2009/06/21/the-heartache-of-infertility-shared-on-stage-screen/|title=Heartache of infertility shared on stage, screen|work=Chicago Tribune| first = Colleen | last = Mastony | name-list-style = vanc |date=21 June 2009}}</ref>
*Science fiction has tackled the themes of creating life through non-conventional methods since [[Mary Shelley]]'s ''[[Frankenstein]]''. In the 20th century, [[Aldous Huxley]]'s ''[[Brave New World]]'' (1932) was the first major fictional work to anticipate the possible social consequences of reproductive technology. Its largely negative view was reversed when the author revisited the same themes in his utopian final [[novel]], ''[[Island (Huxley novel)|Island]]'' (1962).
