Advantages of IVF
IVF refers to the method of implanting embryos into the mother body after in vitro culture through assisted reproductive technology, which provides a reproductive option for couples who cannot conceive naturally. Since the application of IVF technology in the 1980s, it has been widely promoted and used. Next, we will discuss the advantages of IVF in terms of economy, demographic dividend, high-quality genes and controllability.
1. Economic aspects
The goal of IVF technology is to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally realize their desire to have children of their own. For some couples who have been unable to conceive for a long time, continuous treatment and surgery not only cause physical burden, but also bring great pressure to the economy. The IVF technology is an effective solution. Relatively speaking, the cost is more clear and can be reimbursed through medical insurance, which reduces the financial burden of couples.
In addition, IVF technology can also reduce the time and money investment of infertile couples in finding appropriate treatment methods, which can help them achieve their fertility aspirations faster.
Therefore, from an economic perspective, IVF technology provides couples with a relatively convenient and economic way of reproduction.
2. Demographic dividend
With the improvement of human living standards and the progress of medical technology, people's life expectancy continues to extend, while the fertility rate shows a downward trend. The low fertility rate will directly affect the country's population structure and the formation of demographic dividend. IVF technology provides a possible way to solve the population problem.
IVF technology can help couples who cannot conceive naturally for a long time to realize their fertility aspirations, increase the birth rate of the population, and play a positive role in alleviating population aging, maintaining population structure and promoting the formation of demographic dividend. Through IVF technology, couples can have their own children and continue to inherit and develop their own families, which is of positive significance for social stability and development.
3. High quality genes
Test tube baby technology can screen out children with healthy genes by selecting high-quality embryos. This is a powerful guarantee for couples with potential genetic disease risks.
Through IVF technology, doctors can conduct gene testing on embryos during the process of embryo culture, screen out embryos with genetic disease risks, and ensure that the born child is healthy. This can not only reduce the birth of children suffering from genetic diseases, but also bring more joy and happiness to couples.
Therefore, while providing fertility opportunities, IVF technology has also screened high-quality genes for couples, reducing the spread of genetic diseases.
4. Controllability
Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF technology has higher controllability. Couples can select suitable embryos according to their own needs and wishes, and carry out embryo transfer to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
IVF technology can enable couples to better adjust the time and method of pregnancy and increase the chances of successful pregnancy. For those couples who hope to get pregnant at a specific time, IVF technology is of great significance.
In conclusion, IVF technology has obvious advantages in economy, demographic dividend, high-quality genes and controllability. However, we cannot ignore some shortcomings of IVF technology, such as high cost, psychological pressure during treatment, etc. Therefore, when choosing whether to use IVF technology, couples should consider various factors and make prudent decisions.
