Summary/Abstract: In the Czech documentary film Umění oplodnění (The Art of Fertilisation), which introduces the topic of assisted reproduction from different perspectives and view points, we could hear the following sentences about the miracle of conception and the scientific skills and abilities that enable this miracle to happen when the body is not working as it should: “When you realize how extremely sensitive the fascinating process of creating a new human is, one word comes to your mind: a miracle. So many factors have to work at once that it seems impossible. …Scientists… today can repair the broken life cycle to make it work.”
