The influence trend of the third generation IVF technology on the birth of boys
With the progress of science and technology and social changes, IVF technology, as an assisted reproductive technology, has gradually developed into the third generation of IVF technology. Compared with the first and second generation IVF technology, the third generation IVF technology has made a major breakthrough in gender control. This technology has been applied in many hospitals around the world and achieved remarkable results. This article will discuss the influence trend of the third generation IVF technology on the birth of boys.
Background
IVF technology refers to the medical method of transferring the fertilized eggs of infertile patients after IVF to their mothers for pregnancy. Since the birth of the first test tube baby from Britain in the 1970s, this technology has been developing continuously. The third generation IVF technology has further improved the success rate and can meet the needs of patients by controlling gender.
At present, many hospitals around the world, such as California Reproductive Medicine Center in the United States and Melbourne Test Tube Baby Center in Australia, have been able to use the third-generation test tube baby technology to meet the requirements of gender selection for patients.
Technical Principles
The third generation IVF technology controls the development and pregnancy of embryos by screening the sex of the fertilized eggs. The technology is to cultivate the fertilized eggs in vitro, and select the specific sex blastocysts for implantation through gender identification at the blastocyst stage of 5-6 days of embryo development. This technology is realized by means of cytology, molecular biology and genetics, and is constantly improved by means of the continuous development of assisted reproductive medicine technology.
Influence trend
The influence of the third generation IVF technology on the birth of boys is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First, the third-generation IVF technology has effectively increased the proportion of boys born. Due to the high expectations of boys around the world, traditional gender selection methods cannot meet the needs. The third generation IVF technology can select boys by screening the sex of the fertilized eggs, thus increasing the proportion of boys born.
Secondly, the impact of the third generation IVF technology on the birth of boys is also reflected in the family structure and social development. Boys have unique traditions and cultural status in some societies, so families may be more inclined to pursue the birth of boys. This trend will have a certain impact on family structure and social development.
In addition, there are some ethical and moral problems in the application of the third generation IVF technology in the birth of boys. The choice of gender may lead to gender imbalance, which may lead to other social problems. Therefore, the use of the third generation IVF technology needs more strict supervision and ethical constraints to avoid adverse consequences.
Summary
As an assisted reproductive technology, the third generation IVF technology has a multifaceted impact on the birth of boys. It has played an important role in increasing the proportion of boys born, changing the family structure and social development. However, the use of this technology also requires careful consideration of its ethical and moral issues. In the future, with the continuous development of technology and social change, the impact of the third generation of IVF technology on the birth of boys will continue to receive attention and discussion.
