Will IVF babies suffer social discrimination when they grow up?
The development of IVF technology has made many infertile couples realize their dream of procreation. However, with the increase in the number of test tube babies, people began to consider whether these children would face social discrimination in adulthood. The following is an analysis of whether IVF is subject to social discrimination after adulthood from the aspects of family relations, educational background, psychological adjustment and legal protection.
Family relations
Test tube babies, like naturally conceived children, are the blood of their parents. Whether through IVF technology or natural pregnancy, children have the same parent-child relationship. Therefore, in terms of family relations, IVF will not be subjected to special treatment or discrimination. They are also cared for, educated and cared for by their parents, and have similar family environment and family relations with other children.
In addition, with the changes of the times, family models are also constantly diversified. Single parent families, homosexual families and other family forms have become a part of society. IVF families will not receive special attention or discrimination because of the way their children are born. In an understanding and inclusive social environment, IVF enjoys equal family relations like other children.
educational background
The parents of IVF often choose to use IVF technology after a long period of infertility. These parents usually attach great importance to their children's education, and they will try their best to give their children the best educational resources. Therefore, IVF will not be treated differently in educational background.
IVF families will also focus on cultivating children's ability and morality, so that they can have the same quality and talent as other children. In today's increasingly fair educational opportunities, IVF also has the opportunity to receive high-quality educational resources and grow up with other children.
Psychological adjustment
In the process of growing up, IVF may face different psychological problems from the children who are naturally pregnant, such as doubts about their own life experience and longing for biological parents. However, a correct understanding of one's own life experience does not mean that IVF will be discriminated against by society. With the progress of society and the change of ideas, people are re examining the definition of kinship. Blood relationship is no longer the only standard to determine parent-child relationship.
Like other children, IVF will gradually accept and adjust its own sense of life through the help of family and society. If IVF babies can get support and care from family and society, they will not suffer too much psychological distress because they are different.
legal protection
In order to protect the rights and interests of IVF, more and more countries and regions have issued relevant laws and regulations. These laws and regulations aim to ensure that IVF and naturally conceived children enjoy equal rights and opportunities and are free from discrimination. The legal status and equal status of IVF babies are clearly protected by law, thus reducing the possibility of social discrimination against them.
In general, IVF is not likely to be discriminated against by the society after adulthood. Family relationship, educational background, psychological adjustment, legal protection and other factors work together to make IVF and other children enjoy equal opportunities and rights. In an understanding and inclusive social environment, IVF can develop and grow freely and equally.
Therefore, we need not worry too much about the problem that IVF will be discriminated against by society when it comes to adulthood. On the contrary, we should strive to create an inclusive and understanding social environment, so that every child can equally pursue their own happiness and achievements.
