1、 Medical conditions
The third generation of IVF is realized through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology combined with gene editing technology. Therefore, medical conditions are one of the primary conditions for the implementation of the third generation of IVF.
First, hospitals need to have advanced reproductive medicine technology and equipment, including high-precision microscopes, incubators, centrifuges, etc., to ensure high-quality cultivation and maturation of embryos.
Secondly, doctors and technicians should have professional knowledge and skills in infant genetics and embryology, be able to correctly judge the quality and health of embryos, and correctly operate gene editing technology to ensure accurate gene editing.
In addition, the hospital also needs to have perfect gene detection equipment and laboratory, which can perform whole genome detection on embryos and screen possible genetic diseases.
2、 Ethical and moral conditions
The implementation of the third generation of IVF involves gene editing of embryos, so strict ethical and moral conditions are required.
First, the hospital needs to set up an ethics committee, which will review and review the embryo editing plan of each applicant to ensure that it is implemented within the scope of ethics.
Secondly, hospitals also need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and ethical standards, and must not conduct non therapeutic gene editing such as sex selection and IQ, to ensure that the purpose of gene editing is to prevent and treat genetic diseases.
In addition, doctors and technicians need to ensure that the life and dignity of IVF babies are fully respected and that gene editing techniques are not abused to prevent immoral behaviors.
3、 Laws and regulations
In order to ensure the safety and legality of the third generation IVF, hospitals need to comply with relevant laws and regulations.
First, the hospital needs to obtain the reproductive medicine experiment license issued by the National Health Commission, which stipulates the conditions and technical requirements for the hospital to implement IVF.
Secondly, hospitals need to comply with the Administrative Measures for Reproductive Medicine Technology when conducting gene editing, which stipulates the requirements for the scope, procedures and safety evaluation of gene editing experiments.
In addition, hospitals also need to protect patients' privacy, use and save patients' genetic information legally and legally, and prevent the abuse and disclosure of genetic information.
4、 Economic conditions
The cost of the third generation IVF is high, and hospitals need to have good economic conditions.
First, hospitals need to invest in purchasing advanced equipment and technologies, such as gene editing devices, whole genome sequencing equipment, etc., to ensure the advancement and accuracy of technology implementation.
Secondly, hospitals need to pay high salaries for relevant technical personnel to ensure the quality and quantity of personnel, so as to ensure the professionalism and efficiency of technology implementation.
In addition, the hospital also needs to purchase the gene drugs and culture fluids needed by the IVF to ensure the smooth progress of the IVF process.
Summary
The implementation of the third generation of IVF requires the support of medical conditions, ethical and moral conditions, legal and regulatory conditions and economic conditions. Medical conditions include advanced technology and equipment, qualified doctors and technicians; Ethical and moral conditions include the establishment of an ethics committee and compliance with laws, regulations and ethical standards; The legal and regulatory conditions include obtaining the reproductive medicine experiment license and abiding by relevant laws and regulations; Economic conditions include the purchase of advanced equipment and drugs, and the payment of highly paid personnel. Only when these conditions are met at the same time, can hospitals carry out the third generation IVF safely, legally and effectively.
