Birth certificate of test tube baby
IVF baby, also known as artificial insemination baby, is a method of pregnancy and childbirth assisted by medical technology. The development of IVF technology provides a way of hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, IVF has also caused some related problems.

Definition of IVF
Test tube baby refers to the baby who is pregnant and gives birth by combining sperm and egg in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization technology, cultivating the fertilized egg, and then transplanting the fertilized egg into the female uterus. In general, IVF technology is applicable to couples who cannot conceive naturally due to ovarian dysfunction, fallopian tube problems, male sperm quality problems or other reproductive system disorders.
The process of IVF includes egg collection, sperm extraction, in vitro combination of sperm and egg, embryo culture and embryo transfer. This process requires a professional medical team and equipment to ensure the success rate and healthy development of the baby.
Problems related to IVF
The application of IVF technology has caused some ethical and social problems. The first is ethical issues. IVF technology involves the handling of immature fertilized eggs and the possibility of babies choosing gender. These issues have triggered discussions on human dignity of life and triggered some moral and ethical issues.
Secondly, IVF technology also brings certain medical risks. Due to the low success rate of technical operation and embryo implantation, couples may need to try many times, thus bearing a higher physical and psychological burden. In addition, genetic defects may occur during embryo culture, which also increases the risk of abnormal infant development.
Third, IVF technology has also brought economic burden. This technology requires the use of expensive medical equipment and drugs, and repeated attempts may lead to considerable cost accumulation. For some couples with poor economic conditions, this may be a heavy burden.
Finally, IVF technology has also caused problems in family and social relations. Since this technology requires a certain amount of time and effort, and may need to be tried many times, the emotional and marital relationship between couples may be under pressure. In addition, since IVF is still a sensitive topic in some cultures, patients may suffer from social discrimination and prejudice.
summary
As an application of medical technology, IVF provides a choice for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, IVF technology also involves some ethical, medical and social issues. People need to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of technology, and strengthen the supervision of IVF technology to ensure that the interests and rights of couples and infants are protected to the greatest extent.
