Psychological troubles caused by IVF technology
The development of IVF technology provides an opportunity for couples who cannot conceive naturally to realize their reproductive dreams. However, with the popularization of this technology, the problems faced by users cannot be ignored. The problems caused by IVF technology are closely related to the needs of users, including physical problems, psychological problems, ethical considerations and economic pressure.
Physical troubles
IVF technology has a great impact on women's bodies. First, receiving IVF technology requires obtaining eggs through assisted reproductive technology, which involves the process of stimulating the ovary to increase egg production, which may lead to dramatic changes in hormone levels, emotional fluctuations, insomnia and other physical discomfort. Secondly, there may be complications in the process of egg retrieval, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, resulting in abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms. In addition, many attempts may be required for the success of pregnancy, which means that many operations or drug treatments will bring certain burdens and risks to the body.
However, despite these difficulties, many couples still choose to accept IVF technology because their desire to become parents exceeds their physical difficulties, which also highlights their pursuit of fertility.
Psychological distress
IVF technology may bring psychological troubles to women and men. First of all, the inability to conceive naturally may make women feel inferior and anxious, and create insurmountable psychological pressure. For men, they may feel remorse because they are difficult to conceive, and at the same time, they are faced with the problem of not being able to carry on the family line.
In addition, in IVF technology, the low success rate is also a psychological problem. Although certain achievements have been made in the development of technology, in some cases, couples may have to face the blow of repeated attempts and failures, which will bring them great psychological pressure and despair.
Ethical considerations
IVF technology involves some moral and ethical issues, which is also a major problem faced by users. For example, IVF technology may lead to selective sex of infants, which to some extent distorts the principle of gender equality. In addition, IVF technology also involves gene screening and other operations, which may produce a feeling of "designing" babies and trigger controversy on "eugenics".
Users may fall into confusion and contradiction when facing moral and ethical issues, because they have to balance the relationship between the interests of future children, their own aspirations and ethical standards.
Economic pressure
The high cost of IVF technology has also become a problem for many users. In the process of IVF, multiple tests and operations are required, which makes the whole process expensive. Especially in some developing countries, the high cost of IVF technology may deter many couples who cannot conceive naturally.
Economic pressure not only makes couples unable to conceive naturally burdened, but also may limit the popularization of IVF technology. This makes many couples in need unable to obtain the help of IVF technology, thus increasing their troubles.
Summary
The development of IVF technology has brought troubles to users, which are closely related to their needs. From the aspects of physical trouble, psychological trouble, moral and ethical considerations, and economic pressure, IVF technology has brought heavy physical and mental burdens to users. However, despite these difficulties, many users still choose to accept IVF technology because their desire to become parents exceeds all difficulties.
