Test tube baby Zheng Mengzhu: Is there any side effect?
The development of IVF technology has brought hope to many infertile patients, and Zheng Mengzhu has become the representative of the first IVF in China. However, many people are worried about whether IVF technology has side effects. In this article, we will discuss whether there are side effects of test tube baby Zheng Mengzhu from four aspects.
Success rate problem
Although IVF technology has a high success rate in hospitals with advanced technology, not all people can successfully conceive. First, due to the influence of female age, egg quality and other factors, the success rate is limited. In addition, IVF technology itself has certain risks, such as endometriosis or infection caused by implantation process. Therefore, IVF technology is not 100% successful, and it may require multiple attempts to successfully conceive.
In addition, IVF technology has a certain physical burden on women. On the one hand, egg retrieval may cause discomfort and some pain. On the other hand, the use of hormones for control and assistance may cause side effects, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Therefore, before IVF, doctors will evaluate women's physical conditions to ensure that they are suitable for this technology.
Genetic disease problems
IVF technology can help the carriers of genetic diseases avoid passing on the disease to their offspring, but it will also cause some moral and ethical problems. In the process of IVF, doctors can select healthy embryos for implantation through genetic analysis, thus reducing the risk of disease. However, this has also triggered some controversy, because the process of screening embryos involves the trade-off of selecting life.
In addition, IVF technology may lead to the risk of gene mutation in embryos. Although geneticists will carry out relevant tests and screening, the limitations of technology still exist. Therefore, more research and improvement of technology are needed to ensure the health of IVF.
Psychological problems
The process of IVF may bring psychological pressure to both spouses. For infertile patients, the inability to conceive naturally may bring them depression and inferiority complex. In the IVF technology, the treatment cycle is long, which requires the cooperation of both husband and wife for multiple treatments, which may also have a greater impact on the relationship between husband and wife and psychology.
In addition, IVF may also bring special psychological pressure to children. Because they know that their reproductive mode is different, IVF babies may face challenges or discrimination from their peers during their growth. Therefore, the understanding and support of family and society for IVF is also very important.
Social moral issues
The development of IVF technology has also caused some social and moral problems. On the one hand, the high cost of IVF technology makes it difficult for many low-income families to afford, leading to social injustice. On the other hand, IVF technology may also lead to abuse and misuse, such as sex selection, purchase of high-quality genes and other ethical violations.
Therefore, the social and ethical issues of IVF technology need the active participation and supervision of society and laws and regulations to ensure the reasonable application and fairness of technology. At the same time, extensive education and publicity are also needed to increase the public's scientific awareness of IVF technology.
Summary
To sum up, there are some side effects of test tube baby Zheng Mengzhu and related technologies. Success rate, genetic diseases, psychological problems and social and moral problems are all aspects that need to be considered and solved. Although IVF has achieved some success in infertility treatment, further research and standardization are still needed to ensure the safety and reliability of the technology.
