What generation is the current IVF technology?

Patient's question:

Wanting to do IVF, not sure how the technology is? How many generations is it? It's said that IVF technology is already the fourth generation. The kind of help you care about: Seeking explanation

Doctor's answer:

Here is the explanation for this issue: Currently, the assisted reproductive technology used is the internationally leading, true third-generation IVF technology, which has been widely adopted and is very mature. However, there are some institutions that, for certain vested interests, are promoting what they call the "fourth-generation IVF technology." This is a false promotion. Currently, the fourth-generation IVF technology is an immature technology and is still in the research and development stage, existing only in the laboratory. It has not yet been implemented for development or clinical diagnosis. Moreover, and most importantly: the law has explicitly stipulated and strictly prohibits the use of the fourth-generation IVF technology. Be cautious and do not be easily misled—beware of falling into traps.
