Research Abstract	In this study, we have researched on the women's consciousness about new reproductive technology. It emerged that almost women have negative consciousness about the donation egg or sperm. But it means that they consider a couple ought to have children. Therefore if a wife does not become pregnant, she would accept new reproductive technology ; IVF, donation of egg or sperm, surrogate mother, etc. So Women would change their view about new reproductive technology if they want their children. We must consider about technological control over the beginning of human life. Indeed we need analysis how is made ethical decision against the menu of reproductive choice. This is next our issue.
