How to determine the last name of IVF
The development of IVF technology has enabled many infertile couples to realize their dreams of childbearing. However, after the birth of IVF, many couples are faced with an important question: how should the family name of IVF be determined? This problem involves multiple factors such as family values, legal provisions and personal feelings. This article will discuss several aspects of IVF family name determination from the perspectives of laws and regulations, traditional culture, scientific medical treatment, etc.
Constraints of laws and regulations
The determination of IVF's family name is restricted by laws and regulations. In many countries and regions, it is stipulated that the surname of IVF should be the same as that of the parents. This is because surnames are legally regarded as an important symbol of kinship and family inheritance to maintain the continuity of family relations. For example, in China, babies usually follow their parents' surnames to continue their family inheritance. In some European countries, IVF is allowed to use the surname of one or both parents as the baby's surname.
However, there are also some countries that do not clearly stipulate the family name of IVF, allowing parents to choose their own. This practice also reflects that the law respects individual freedom and family will.
Influence of traditional culture
The determination of IVF family names is often influenced by traditional culture. In some societies, surnames are regarded as an important link of family inheritance, closely related to blood ties and family continuity. Therefore, many families will respect traditional family names when deciding on IVF family names to maintain family continuity. This concept is deeply rooted in some Asian countries and regions, and respects paternity and family order.
However, with the diversification of modern family structure, some couples have begun to reflect on the rationality of the traditional family name system. They believe that IVF's family name decision should be more flexible and free from the constraints of traditional culture. In this case, the couple can choose a family name that respects both tradition and personal will.
Scientific medical assistance
The development of IVF technology provides more possibilities for family name decision. With the progress of technology, doctors can select gender specific embryos for breeding through artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and other methods. This allows parents to be more flexible in deciding the family name of IVF. For example, if couples want to inherit their surnames from girls, doctors can do so by screening out female embryos.
In addition, some couples can also choose to merge the last name of IVF with the last name of two people. Such a decision can better show the couple's family ties, while continuing the family tradition. The development of science and medical technology provides more choices and possibilities for IVF family name decision.
summary
The determination of IVF family name involves multiple factors such as laws and regulations, traditional culture, scientific medical treatment, etc. The legal provisions have important constraints on the determination of family names, while the development of traditional culture and scientific medical treatment has widened the options and possibilities to a certain extent. For couples, the family name decision of IVF should take into account the legal provisions, respect traditional culture and conform to personal wishes, and build a healthy and harmonious family relationship.
