On March 10, 1988, China's first test-tube baby was born.
Some people were pleasantly surprised, but others said it was a "sadness"., and also concluded that such a baby would never live to be forty years old.
But now that 36 years have passed, how is the baby now?
The time has come1987 year, that is, the year before the IVF "birth".
On this day, a woman came to the hospital in Beijing, she calledZheng Guizhen, because I have never had a child, so I came to the hospital for examination.
Because people like her are already in elementary school, only Zheng Guizhen has never conceived a child, and when it was in the 80s, she would be ridiculed by others if she never had a child.
Especially in rural areas, there is even more gossip, so Zheng Guizhen is also very anxious.
After examination, it was found that Zheng Guizhen'sBilateral fallopian tube obstruction, which also leads to the fact that the sperm cannot combine with the egg cell, so it will not be able to give birth to children.
When Zheng Guizhen learned of this result, she was naturally very reluctant to believe it, because not being able to give birth to children was a shame for women at that time.
So Zheng Guizhen asked the doctor if there was anything she could do to get her pregnant.
Because in the process,Zheng Guizhen can say that in order to get pregnant, "do everything".
herI have burned incense and worshiped Buddha, even the home remedies that she didn't know from where she came, she had used them, and she had suffered a lot, but there was no way to get her pregnant.
Until later,Zheng Guizhen came to Beijing and found Professor Zhang Lizhu
Zhang Lizhu is an expert in the study of IVF in China, at the timeZhang Lizhu has conducted more than a dozen experiments, but ultimately failed.
Zheng Guizhen naturally knew the news, because they didn't understand what IVF was at that time, and only grabbed the last "life-saving straw".
Zheng Guizhen's husband actually did not agree with Zheng Guizhen taking this riskBecause this experiment has never been successful after all, if you don't get it right, you will lose your life.
But Zheng Guizhen insisted on her own ideas.
The reason why IVF is called IVF is because:The sperm and egg cells are combined outside the body and then manually injected into the mother's body.
Previously, egg cells also needed to be removed from the mother's body, so this"Take" and "Put".The process is very difficult and dangerous.
At that time, the medical conditions in the 80s were not as good as they are now, and a sterile environment could be guaranteed at all timesMoreover, the cells themselves are small and invisible to the naked eye, so this experiment is destined to be full of hardships and challenges.
In June 1987, Zheng Guizhen entered the operating room and successfully retrieved the eggs from her body.
and successfully completed in vitro fertilization, and finally put it back into Zheng Guizhen's uterus.
The waiting process was the most difficult, and finally in the seventh week, Zhang Lizhu checked Zheng GuizhenIt was found that the embryo already had a heartbeat!
That's proof,Our country's first IVF was successful!
Finally, in March of the following year, Zheng Mengzhu was successfully bornAt that time, this news caused a sensation in the entire medical and scientific community, because in this way, it proved that our technology had made another breakthrough.
But this news is not very good in the eyes of many peopleBecause this baby is not "naturally formed", there are many people who say that she will definitely not live to be 40 years old.
But that's not the caseIVF is no different from normal people's babies, it's just that the place of fertilization is different.
Zheng Guizhen saidThere is nothing "discordant" about her daughter's growth
Even when she was eight months old, she was already able to speak, can still hum songs at the age of two, and there are no problems in terms of intelligence and physical strength, and there are few illnesses in life.
In 2009, Zheng Mengzhu was 21 years old, and she was already a college student at this timeAfter graduating, she became a staff member of the hospital.
Zheng Mengzhu's idea is also very simple, that is, from ** to **, she uses her practical actions to help those who were in the same predicament as her mother.
And Zhang Lizhu is also using the same method to help those "mothers".
However, due to his advanced ageZhang Lizhu passed away in September 2016 at the age of 95.
And now Zheng Mengzhu is 36 years old, and she has also become a mother, gave birth to a baby boy in 2019, and the family was very happy.
This news also shocked many people, because the offspring of IVF also came out successfully.
Nowadays, with the gradual development of medical standards, the success rate of IVF in China is getting higher and higherThere are about 15-200,000 test-tube babies born in China every year, and this is a conservative estimate.
In other words, there are currently more than 1 million IVF babies in China, this number is huge, which is enough to prove that IVF is no problem.
And with the development of science and technology now,There is even a term for an "artificial womb".In other words, the mother no longer has to bear the pain of childbirth, but puts it in this "artificial womb".
At present, there are successful cases of "artificial wombs" in the world to give birth to lambs.
But the technology is also very controversial, because the artificial womb also has a lot of ethical problems.
Although it liberated women, butIt is inevitable that there will be doubts about the status of women in society, as well as a series of problems such as marriage.
And with the development of science and technology,We can even use genes to "fabricate" a child what kind of **, what kind of height he has, and so on.
Of course, human beings have not yet set foot in the research and editing of genes, because this also brings "incalculable" risks.
The birth of technology itself is a double-edged sword, and the development of the times is also a double-edged swordWhen the Internet appeared, people can also face the risks of the network while enjoying the convenience brought by life, ** fraud, etc.
So, the same goes for the development of technologyThe technology of IVF was originally intended to meet the hopes of those who could not have children to have a child of their own.
SoThe power of technology is endless, and IVF only provides a way out for families who want to have children, and we can't judge whether the baby is "good" or "bad".
can only be from a realistic point of view, although some people concluded that IVF was questioned at that time, but after the observation of the current time, it can also be seen that IVF is no different from ordinary people, it is a fresh life.
SoWe should also believe in the power of science to benefit humanity and help people.
