By doing this and all the other means of artificial insemination and embryonic implantation, aren’t we just passing on the genes of those who have problems conceiving?

The problem is caused by a female having just one X chromosome.

Turner Syndrome basically is just that. Males are “XY” and females “XX” but Turners kids are “XO” meaning the chromosome from one parent is missing. It’s not “inherited” per se, so much as being caused by an errant cell division by one of the parents’ reproductive systems.

I can’t recall (since I’m not a doctor) whether it’s the sperm or egg that is usually the faulty cell.
