IVF has its advantages, but for some couples the disadvantages could possibly outweigh these advantages. According to BabyCenter.com, some benefits include things like a history of success, no link to cancer, and improved techniques. But the list of disadvantages seems to outweigh these advantages with a few negative factors such as: price, time, IVF failure, and potential complications for the baby and mother during delivery (BabyCenter). It is clear that some of these disadvantages are easily solved by family support or the couple's salary, but for almost all expectant middle-class mothers, this procedure will put a dent in their daily life. For my IVF procedure alone, my parents spent around $25,000. They had to sell their house and downgrade it to a much smaller house, but they were also fortunate to receive financial help from my grandparents, as they were just as passionate about this procedure as my parents were. If a couple can see past the downsides and agree that the upside outweighs them, then IVF is the procedure for them. Among the advantages is the success rate, which seems to be very different between age groups. According to the American Pregnancy Association (2012), success rates differ by age group. For example: those under 35 are 41 to 43%, 35 to 37 are 33 to 36%, 38 to 40 are 23 to 27% and finally those over 40 are 13 to 15. % (AmericanPregnancy, 2012). Even if the figures for the youngest seem low, there are many more success stories than they seem. These age gaps prove that the older the woman is, the more difficult it is to conceive. If the success rate is so low for women over 40, imagine that of women 60 to 65 or older. Therefore, in order to prevent women above the age of 60-65 from resorting to IVF procedure in the future, the government must intervene now before this option is adopted.
