Abstract:
Young women affected by education and career delay the childbearing period,which results in reduced fertility.With the two-child policy completely opening,more and more elderly women have demands for pregnancy and the need of assisted reproductive technology (ART) increases day by day.However,the ART treatment faces with a series of medical and ethical problems.For example,the pregnancy rate of aged women is low but the abortion rate is high;and the incidence of pregnancy complications and fetal chromosomal abnormality increases significantly.In this regard,it can solve these problems through limiting the women's age,choosing the donated eggs,strengthening the counseling for elderly infertile women before ART treatment,paying attention to the psychological problems and applying the genetic screening technology before implantation.
