Are the conditions for the third generation of IVF available in China?
With the continuous progress of science and technology, IVF technology is also developing. As a relatively novel technology, the third generation IVF technology has higher success rate and more advantages. However, does China have the corresponding conditions to implement the third generation IVF technology? Next, we will elaborate on the facilities and equipment of the infant hospital, the professional level of doctors, laws and regulations, and social acceptance.
1、 Facilities and equipment of infant hospital
The third generation IVF technology needs a series of advanced equipment to support it, such as egg, sperm quality assessment device, embryo quality assessment device, etc. These devices can more accurately evaluate the quality of eggs and sperm, and improve the success rate of pregnancy. At present, some top domestic infant hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine are equipped with these equipment.
In addition, the third generation IVF technology also needs to use gene editing technology to screen embryos with good genes. Although this technology is still in the exploration stage in China, with the development of domestic biotechnology, it is believed that hospitals with gene editing technology will also appear in the near future.
2、 Professional level of doctors
The implementation of the third generation IVF technology requires doctors to have a high professional level. Doctors need to be familiar with embryo culture technology, embryo quality assessment and implantation technology, and be able to design personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients. These knowledge and technologies need long-term learning and experience accumulation.
Some domestic infant hospitals have cultivated a group of highly professional and experienced IVF doctors, who have the ability to implement the third generation IVF technology. At the same time, some doctors have mastered the advanced knowledge of the third generation IVF technology through professional research abroad, laying the foundation for the implementation in China.
3、 Laws and regulations
In China, the implementation of IVF technology is subject to a series of laws and regulations. These laws and regulations include the Measures for the Administration of Reproductive Technology, the Measures for the Administration of Human Assisted Reproductive Medicine Technology, etc., which are designed to ensure the legality, safety and controllability of IVF technology. At present, these laws and regulations have standardized the third generation IVF technology, providing legal guarantee for its implementation in China.
In addition, the state is also strengthening the supervision of IVF technology, and continues to revise and improve relevant laws and regulations. This will provide more clear guidance for the implementation of the third generation IVF technology.
4、 Social acceptance
The IVF technology has been controversial since its inception, and its social acceptance is also one of the important factors restricting its development. However, with the passage of time, the public's awareness and acceptance of IVF technology is gradually improving, and the acceptance of the third generation IVF technology is also increasing.
On the one hand, more and more couples are aware of the difficulties of natural pregnancy and the advantages of IVF technology, and have expectations for the third generation IVF technology. On the other hand, the support and positive publicity of scientific and technological innovation from all walks of life also played a positive role in promoting the promotion and acceptance of the third generation IVF technology.
Summary
To sum up, China has a certain foundation in terms of the conditions for the third generation IVF technology. Advanced facilities and equipment, professional level of doctors, perfect laws and regulations and social acceptance have all provided strong support for the implementation of the third generation IVF technology. However, it is still necessary to further strengthen research and training in relevant fields to promote the development and application of the third generation IVF technology in China.
