Restrictions on IVF in China
IVF refers to the baby who completes fertilization and embryo culture in vitro through assisted reproductive technology, and finally transfers the embryo to the mother's uterus for pregnancy, so as to achieve pregnancy, delivery and successful birth. However, in China, IVF is still subject to various restrictions and restrictions.
Restrictions on medical conditions
First, the application of IVF technology needs the support of highly professional medical equipment and professionals. In China, not every hospital has such conditions. Only some large general hospitals or specific assisted reproduction centers are qualified for IVF operation. As a result, the technical resources of IVF cannot be fully popularized, and some potential pregnant women may not be able to access IVF services nearby.
Secondly, IVF needs scientific and accurate medical detection and precise range control. This requires the hospital to have advanced laboratory equipment and qualified laboratory personnel. However, not every hospital has these sophisticated equipment and high-quality personnel, which also limits the popularization and development of IVF.
In addition, IVF needs to go through a series of treatment processes, including egg retrieval, fertilization and embryo transfer. These treatment processes need precise operation and close observation. At present, the medical level and work experience of IVF technology in China are relatively low, so hospitals in different regions may have large differences in IVF technology, which also limits the popularization and promotion of IVF technology.
Ethical and legal restrictions
IVF technology involves ethical and legal issues, and has certain restrictions and controls on the rights and interests of infants and parents. First, IVF technology involves ethical issues related to embryos. According to the laws and regulations of our country, IVF technology is carried out in the early stage of embryo culture. Therefore, the status and protection of embryos is an important issue. At present, China clearly stipulates that IVF technology can only be carried out by married couples, and unmarried people or same-sex couples are prohibited from using this technology.
Secondly, the genetic scanning and sex selection of IVF technology are also limited. China's laws clearly stipulate that sex selection of embryos is prohibited and the selection of traits is restricted. These restrictions are mainly to protect the rights and interests of infants and embryos and prevent moral and ethical problems.
In addition, there are certain time limits for IVF technology. The dominant age of female IVF is below 35 years old. With the increase of age, the quality and quantity of female eggs will gradually decline, and the success rate will also decrease. Therefore, some women over a certain age may not be able to perform IVF.
Limitation on economic burden
IVF is an expensive technology, and its cost is usually borne by individuals. The expenses of IVF include medical expenses, drug expenses and follow-up care expenses. According to statistics, the cost of IVF in China is usually more than 100000 yuan, and does not include the cost of subsequent pregnancy and infant support. This is an important burden for some families with poor economic conditions, and also limits the possibility for them to choose IVF.
In addition, the success rate of IVF is not 100%. The success rate will gradually decrease with the growth of age and multiple attempts of IVF. Therefore, if the family's economic capacity is limited, it is difficult to bear the high cost again after a IVF failure, which will also limit the possibility that they choose to continue to try IVF.
Full text summary
There are many restrictions and restrictions on IVF in China, including medical conditions, ethical and legal restrictions, and economic burden restrictions. The medical resources of IVF are limited, and only a few large hospitals or specific assisted reproduction centers with high-level medical equipment and professionals can provide services. Ethical and legal issues have clear provisions on the implementation of IVF, limiting the sex selection of unmarried people, same-sex partners and embryos. In addition, the cost of IVF is high and needs to be borne by individuals. The economic burden also limits the choice of IVF. In a word, although IVF has made some progress in China, it still faces many restrictions and challenges.
