The U.S. presidential election has come to an end in the past two days, and Trump has returned to the White House to officially declare his victory in the 2024 presidential election.
This is inseparable from Musk, the big brother who supports him, so the discussion about Musk is also very hot.
When it comes to Musk, I have to mention his 12 children, of which the first child was conceived naturally and died soon after birth, a boy was born naturally in 2020, and the remaining 10 children are all test-tube babies.
So now a lot of discussion thinks that the reason why he repeatedly conceived babies in IVF is because IVF babies are of better quality and have a higher IQ than naturally conceived children, is this true?
01 Are test-tube offspring really higher IQ?
To evaluate a child's IQ, performance is obviously an easier indicator to measure, and although performance is affected by many factors, IQ should never be ignored.
A study counted 4,766 adolescents born in vitro from 1995 to 1998, including 2,836 singles and 1,930 twins, in the Danish birth cohort, and compared them with a control cohort of natural pregnancies.
The natural cohort consisted of a randomly selected singleton population of 5,660 and all twins born in Denmark in 1995-1998 of 7,064.
It was found that
Compared with
This suggests that compared to traditional predictors,
In the adjusted analysis,
Overall, this study is based on national data, so the results of the survey can reflect the characteristics of the general population, so it is suitable for predictions for all populations.
The findings of this paper suggest that
Through this study, we can say that Musk's IVF must not allow children to have a higher IQ.
Some people also say that Musk has autism genes, so his IVF is to avoid children's autism! Is this true?
02 Can test tubes really circumvent autism genes?
We don't need to check the literature to know this, according to public reports, of the five children conceived by Musk and his first wife Justin, Saxon was diagnosed with autism since he was a child.
According to media reports, among Musk's existing 11 children,
Musk has not shied away from publicly admitting that he has Asperger's syndrome.
This syndrome gave him a keen insight and rigorous thinking in the field of engineering, but it also limited his ability to handle interpersonal relationships to a certain extent.
A 2014 survey of more than 2 million Swedish households showed that
So obviously,
opposite
For example, this JAMA study looked at 5 million IVF people from 1978 to 2010.
The study found that
Compared to in vitro fertilization without ICSI,
But the prevalence of these diseases is low,
Of course, there are also studies that believe that IVF increases the incidence of autism.
Therefore, Musk did not go to IVF because he wanted to avoid autism.
We know that IVF actually has a lot of unknown risks, both for offspring and for women, so why doesn't he take a more natural way of getting pregnant?
Sister Circle boldly speculated, I think the following factor is the real reason why Musk took IVF!
03 Sperm quality problems have to be test-tubed
We know from many reports that Musk is a veritable workaholic, working more than 120 hours a week, and there are reports that he stays at Tesla factories 24 hours a day on his birthday.
If you calculate carefully, he has to work more than 14 hours a day, and the impact of such a high-intensity work rhythm on sperm quality can be imagined.
High-intensity work is inevitably accompanied by sedentary work,
According to the intensity of his work, staying up late is very common,
Many of Musk's children were born 20 years later, and Musk's age is 50 years old.
Although Musk is not bad for money, I definitely don't believe that he will choose a test tube for no reason, there must be a reason why he can't tell it.
Guess boldly, the quality of his sperm may not be enough to make the female partner get pregnant naturally, so he has to take IVF.
In short, IVF is a technical means to satisfy the fertility of infertile couples, and from the existing research, although the health status of IVF offspring is roughly similar to that of natural offspring, there are also many studies that have found risk factors, which is definitely not the first choice for fertility.
Call again, you can get pregnant naturally, please be sure to get pregnant naturally, come on!
