Title Card: Cloning Mercenaries 101: How Real-Life Cloning Works

CW: Mentions of animal death (in a research context)

Slide 1: Foreword

If you're into TF2, chances are you've come across fanworks depicting the "clone theory" to explain why there's more than one of each mercenary.

Clone theories generally fall into the categories of either respawn/teleportation cloning, or biological cloning. Today, we'll focus on real-life biological cloning.

"But TF2 is a Looney-Tunes comedy! Why bother with the science of a fairly common, but minimally supported headcanon?"

It's always worth understanding how the real-life version of something really works!

Slide 2: What is Cloning?

"Cloning" broadly refers to the process of producing individuals who are genetically identical to another individual. It can include single- and multi-cellular organisms.

Cloning includes both natural cloning (like plant cuttings, asexual reproduction) and artificial cloning (like cloning DNA fragments, cells, and organisms).

"Reproductive cloning", is the cloning of a multicellular organism to create a new genetically identical individual.

Engie speech bubble: Natural cloning is more common than you may think: for example, plants grown from cuttings are clones of their "parent"!

Slide 3: Reproductive Cloning

There are 2 methods of reproductive cloning for mammals:

Embryo Splitting

- Used to create identical twins from 1 egg and 1 sperm cell after in-vitro fertilization (IVF)

- Not really for cloning an existing adult so we won't focus on it.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)

- Used to create a number of clones of an individual organism from 1 body cell (somatic cell) from the organism and 1 donor egg cell

Engie speech bubble: We’ll be focusing on SCNT here!

Slide 4: Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (Diagram)

1. Nucleus removed from body (somatic) cell of individual to be cloned (by pipette)

2. Nucleus removed from donor egg cell

3. Somatic nucleus placed into empty donor egg cell

4. Resulting egg stimulated and begins to divide

5. Resulting embryo transferred to uterus of a surrogate mother to develop.

Slide 5: Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer

The resulting clone embryo is not 100% identical to that of the individual to be cloned.

- The body (somatic) cell's nucleus may have contained mutations

- The mitochondria (powerhouse of the cell) of the resulting clone embryo will be the donor egg's mitochondria

That's right! If the donor egg is NOT from the individual or their matenal line (mitochondria are passed down maternally) the resulting clone embryo will NOT be 100% identical.

Engie speech bubble: With different mitochondria, a clone may have differences in body parts with high energy demand, like muscles, heart, eyes, or brain.

Slide 6: Dolly the Sheep

Some methods using the principles of SCNT were used as early as the 1950s (based on earlier work in the 1920s) to clone amphibians.

The first successful mammalian clone using SCNT was Dolly, a cloned sheep born in 1996 in Scotland, and announced to the public in 1997.

Dolly eventually developed severe arthritis and a progressive lung disease and was

euthanized at age 6 despite sheep's average lifespan being 11-12 years.

Engie speech bubble: Dolly was named after Dolly Parton!

Slide 7: Some Downsides

Inefficiency & Failure Rate:

SCNT has a high failure rate - many clones die during gestation, and newborn clones may die of abnormalities. For example, for Dolly, 277 fertilized eggs -> 29 embryos -> 3 lambs born -> only Dolly survived.

Advanced Aging(?):

Due to Dolly's age-related diseases it was speculated her DNA was already genetically "old". Later studies of further clones found no evidence of having age-related diseases, but the idea of "advanced" or "accelerated" aging of clones made its way into pop culture.

Engie speech bubble: More recent cloning using SCNT have reported higher success rates, but still have many failures.

Slide 8: What Does this Mean in TF2?

A resulting baby born from SCNT will, in fact, be a baby. The baby will NOT have the memories, experiences, muscle mass, or, well... anything past genetics, of the individual they were cloned from.

In terms of TF2, a lot of time and money would need to be spent raising, feeding, and teaching the resulting baby for the next 18 or so years to get anywhere close to a useful mercenary. Not very efficient...

Engie speech bubble: In short, you'd need to look beyond realistic cloning

and take some sci-fi shortcuts to get already-adult clones as often portrayed in fandom.

It’s lore dump time :3 (each day this AU gets even further from looking like it’s inside the ihnmaims universe BUT I SWEAR IT IS!!! IN MY HEAD!!!!)

So euurm these are concept designs for some of the models that I once mentioned in another post, in a few words, funny robots that live in a settlement on the moon and that are divided in a hierarchy. I’m gonna really try my best to explain myself abt this, even with my English, so enjoy!!!1!!

-All the robot units that inhabited this “kingdom” were divided into a hierarchy. The units were named after planets, though the hierarchy didn’t necessarily follow the order of the planets to rank them (from higher to lower ranks of units we have: Sun (HEL-102), 34RTH, M3RCUR1, V3NU2, N3PTUN3, UR4NU2, M4R2, 7UP1T3R, 24TURN, and PLUT0 respectively.)

[Important details to take note of: all robots consisted of a “shell” (empty body parts/model) and inner cables/systems that brought that shell together, thus a robot was able to change models by transferring its cables to another one (similarly to what snails do). We call robots with both a model (shell) and inner cables a unit. We call the shell alone models, and these own the names with both letters and numbers. The ranks are named after the proper name of the planets].

-Units of the hierarchy:

The monarch, HEL-102 (they/he), was considered the “Sun”: supreme leader and the only one to give permissions for any important activities or movements done around. The insides of its body contained the encapsulated remains of his original human body, still alive though unconscious. Although he did have a solid model, they also enjoyed to move around without it as an amalgamation of cables.

The monarch’s closest subordinates that communicated any events to them were the M3RCUR1 (Mercury) units: they constantly supervised the city around and practically were the sun’s secondary eyes. The M3RCUR1 units were the ones to decide if a unit was worthy of keeping its model/rank or not: those who did an inefficient job on their rank could be downgraded to the model of the rank below (with an exception of 34RTH units) forcefully.

The V3NU2 (Venus) units were in charge of entertainment and sometimes tidiness inside the monarch’s palace. They had a lot more liberty to choose the shape of their model. The wax inside them could be colored and dispersed at their will to simulate clothes, and their screens could show a face of a character in order to act in a play. Even so, they also offered many other entertainment spectacles such as circus shows, dances, and even simulations of tv shows.

The E4RTH (Earth) units were considered as high ranks despite them having the N3PTUN3 units as their superiors/caretakers/teachers: they were in charge of supervising the seeds and embryos now stored in a vault inside the moon where the original AI was kept. They were considered valuable as their programs and physical models were being adapted to help humans regenerate Earth’s nature and biodiversity with plenty of strategies and methods (involving plant propagation, care of embryos, etc etc.), + they were built with the materials closest to the core of the original AI. These models were not allowed to access the city itself, and were safely kept inside a dome where they were constantly trained, upgraded and tested for the efficiency of their programs in different situations. For some reason, they weren’t allowed to touch each other either.

The M4R2 (Mars) units were mostly authorities for the army that directed the investigation, recollection and attack missions to Earth. These missions had the objectives to 1: investigate the bowels of AM as much as they could, occasionally the surface too, 2: recollect materials, mostly metals, to replenish most of the models and 3: slowly but gradually attack AM’s systems as their army was exponentially growing. M4R2 models were usually seen in two versions, as one type usually took charge of the investigative missions and the other of the offensive/defensive ones.

… (Missing a few units to draw yet.)

Ok as a last comment now I have a lot more material to doodle with, so expect them being silly very soon (and perhaps serious too). I also wanted to explain their common behaviors and other stuff but I’ll leave that for another post.

Alex Bollinger at LGBTQ Nation:

“Happy World IVF Day to everyone except J.D. Vance,” was the headline of a statement Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign posted to social media yesterday, which was World IVF [in vitro fertilization] Day. Harris is already making reproductive freedom a central issue in the campaign in the first presidential election since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and that includes the issue of IVF, which the Alabama Supreme Court ruled against earlier this year. And Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) – the GOP vice presidential candidate – has a record on the issue that makes it easier for Harris to make it a campaign issue. IVF is a fertility procedure where several eggs are fertilized outside of a person’s body, allowed to grow for several days, and then transferred back into a person in hopes of resulting in a pregnancy. In order to have a decent chance at succeeding, the procedure requires several fertilized embryos to be created, some of which are stored for later cycles of IVF. Many of those fertilized embryos will either fail to implant or never be transferred to a person’s uterus.

The procedure is often used by same-sex couples who want to build their families, and it is the most common method of assisted reproduction. Because the procedure requires fertilized eggs to be created that likely won’t lead to pregnancies, many on the right oppose the procedure. This past February, the supreme court of the state of Alabama ruled that fertilized embryos have the same rights as children, saying that laws about “unborn children” also apply to those “located outside of a biological uterus.” That ruling led to several clinics stopping their IVF treatments. The state passed a bill to protect IVF providers from civil and criminal liability without addressing the legal issue of fertilized embryos having rights.

Queen Kamala slay! She calls out JD Vance for his anti-IVF foolishness.

How IVF Experts Can Increase Success Rates: Key Factors to Consider

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) has revolutionized the field of reproductive medicine, offering hope to millions of couples struggling with infertility. While the IVF process is highly effective, the success rates can vary based on a number of factors. Fortunately, the expertise of IVF specialists can significantly enhance the chances of a successful pregnancy. In this blog, we’ll explore how IVF experts can increase success rates and provide guidance on optimizing treatment for the best possible outcome.

1. Personalized Treatment Plans

One of the most crucial ways IVF experts can increase success rates is by developing a personalized treatment plan. Every patient’s fertility journey is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach may not work for everyone. By assessing factors such as age, medical history, hormone levels, and the underlying cause of infertility, IVF specialists can tailor the treatment to meet the specific needs of the patient.

Customized medication protocols: Experts adjust the type, dose, and timing of fertility medications to stimulate egg production in the most effective way.

Individualized embryo selection: With a personalized approach, the best embryos can be selected for transfer, increasing the likelihood of successful implantation.

2. Advanced Diagnostic Tools and Testing

IVF success is often greatly influenced by the accuracy of diagnostic testing. IVF experts use advanced diagnostic tools to assess both male and female fertility. By identifying any underlying issues early on, specialists can recommend the most effective treatment strategies.

Genetic screening: Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) allows experts to screen embryos for genetic disorders, ensuring only the healthiest embryos are transferred.

Hormonal profiling: Hormonal tests help IVF specialists understand the reproductive health of the patient and identify any imbalances that might impact treatment.

3. Optimizing Egg and Sperm Quality

The quality of the eggs and sperm used in IVF plays a significant role in the success of the treatment. IVF experts can help improve the quality of both through various strategies:

Egg retrieval timing: By carefully timing egg retrieval, specialists ensure that eggs are harvested at the optimal moment for fertilization, increasing the chances of success.

Sperm selection techniques: Advanced sperm selection methods, such as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), can be used when sperm quality is a concern, ensuring the best sperm is used for fertilization.

4. Embryo Culture and Monitoring

The embryo culture stage is critical in determining the success of IVF. IVF specialists use advanced technology and expertise to monitor embryo development closely. Embryos are cultured in controlled environments, with temperature and pH levels optimized for growth.

Embryo monitoring: Regular assessments of embryo growth help identify the most viable embryos for transfer. The use of time-lapse imaging and embryo grading ensures that the best embryos are chosen.

Blastocyst culture: Transferring embryos that have reached the blastocyst stage (5–6 days old) often increases success rates. This is because blastocysts are more likely to implant successfully compared to earlier-stage embryos.

5. Embryo Transfer Techniques

The embryo transfer process is a delicate procedure, and expert handling is essential to increase the likelihood of successful implantation. IVF specialists use highly refined techniques to transfer embryos into the uterus with precision.

Catheter selection: IVF specialists use the smallest catheter possible to ensure the embryo is transferred gently and accurately into the uterine lining.

Endometrial preparation: Proper preparation of the uterine lining is crucial for embryo implantation. Experts can optimize endometrial receptivity through medications such as progesterone to create the best environment for the embryo.

6. Attention to Patient Health and Wellness

The overall health of the patient is a critical factor in IVF success. IVF experts emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to support fertility and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Diet and exercise: IVF specialists may recommend dietary changes and exercise routines to improve fertility health, manage weight, and reduce stress.

Stress management: The emotional and psychological aspects of IVF can affect the success of treatment. Experts often suggest counseling, relaxation techniques, or mindfulness practices to help patients manage stress throughout the IVF process.

7. Use of Cutting-Edge Technologies

Advancements in technology have significantly improved the chances of success in IVF. IVF experts stay updated on the latest techniques and innovations in reproductive medicine to provide the best treatment options available.

Cryopreservation: Freezing embryos and eggs for future use can help increase the chances of success in later IVF cycles.

Stem cell research: Experts are exploring the potential of stem cells to enhance fertility and improve IVF outcomes, although this technology is still in its early stages.

8. Managing Multiple IVF Cycles

For some patients, multiple IVF cycles may be required to achieve pregnancy. IVF specialists know when to make adjustments to the treatment plan after each cycle and can help manage the process effectively.

Cycle monitoring: Regular monitoring of hormone levels, egg quality, and embryo development can guide adjustments in the next cycle to improve outcomes.

Optimizing the next attempt: If the first IVF cycle is unsuccessful, experts review the results to make necessary changes, such as altering medications, improving embryo culture, or using genetic testing.

9. Emotional Support and Counseling

The IVF journey can be emotionally challenging, and IVF experts understand the importance of providing emotional support. Offering counseling services and a strong support system helps patients manage the psychological stress of the process and can improve overall well-being.

Counseling sessions: Many IVF centers provide counseling services to help patients cope with the emotional rollercoaster of IVF.

Support groups: Connecting with other couples going through IVF can provide encouragement and reassurance during the process.

Conclusion

The success of IVF is influenced by various factors, but the expertise of IVF specialists plays a pivotal role in increasing the chances of success. From personalized treatment plans and advanced diagnostic tools to optimizing egg and sperm quality, IVF experts use their knowledge and experience to provide the best possible care for each patient. By staying up to date with the latest advancements in fertility technology and offering emotional support, they help couples navigate the IVF journey with confidence and hope.

Are the machines capable of reproducing in the same way as other organisms or are they made through other means?

Yes, machines reproduce similarly to the biological lifeforms seen on Earth. Although it is interesting to note that a majority of species are capable of asexual reproduction!

Sexual reproduction itself is also vastly different than what would be recognizable in terrestrial vertebrates. Machines are hermaphroditic in nature, and essentially all reproductive function is handled by a single cavity in the upper jaw. The closest method you could liken machine reproduction to would be fish egg fertilization.

Eggs are deposited by the ovipositor, which is stored within that reproductive cavity. Nanomachines containing copies of the genetic data of the machine itself (as well as its past relatives in some cases) are also stored within the same cavity, and the machine can switch between either "gamete" type at will.

After an egg is deposited, it will be receptive to data packet transfers for a set amount of time before the embryo within begins to develop. In some species (ex. ALIA-250), it's only the parent who self-fertilizes the egg. In others, up to 10 individuals might be the "biological" parents of a single hatchling (this behavior isn't uncommon to see in fixed-wing UAVs).

Here's a Helix Ornithopter (Tetrabaxhir leucocephalus) showing off its ovipositor. It should probably put that thang away.

Helix Ornithopters are an interesting case of species with a particularly long ovipositor for its body length. Usually they would not be nearly as long in other lineages.

Also going to note the fact that sometimes planes will transfer genetic material to each other in an act which essentially just involves individuals sticking their ovipositors into each other's mouths. Helps increase diversity.

All this to say, if you see two planes a humpin', one's probably giving a back scratch to the other (they can feel sensation on their carapace!), but if you see two planes "kissing" they're actually just fucking.

Can We Clone a Dinosaur? The Science Behind Jurassic Park

Ever since Jurassic Park hit the big screen, the idea of bringing dinosaurs back to life has fascinated scientists and movie lovers alike. But is it actually possible to clone a dinosaur, or is it just Hollywood magic? In this article, we’ll dive into the real science behind cloning and whether dinosaurs could ever walk the Earth again.

Can We Clone a Dinosaur? The Science Behind Jurassic Park

Ever since Jurassic Park hit the big screen, the idea of bringing dinosaurs back to life has fascinated scientists and movie lovers alike. But is it actually possible to clone a dinosaur, or is it just Hollywood magic? In this article, we’ll dive into the real science behind cloning and whether dinosaurs could ever walk the Earth again.

The Science of Cloning: A Quick Breakdown

Cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of an organism. Scientists have successfully cloned animals like sheep (Dolly the Sheep), cats, and even horses using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This technique involves taking DNA from a donor cell and inserting it into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. The cell is then stimulated to grow into an embryo, which is implanted into a surrogate mother.

While this method works for recently living animals, cloning a dinosaur presents major challenges.

Why Cloning Dinosaurs Is (Currently) Impossible

1. DNA Degradation Over Time

DNA is a fragile molecule that breaks down over time. Fossilized dinosaur bones are millions of years old, and even in the best conditions, DNA cannot survive for more than about 6.8 million years. Since dinosaurs went extinct around 66 million years ago, their DNA is far too degraded to be used for cloning.

2. No Complete Dinosaur Genome

Even if we found fragments of dinosaur DNA, we would need a complete genome to successfully clone one. Without a full set of instructions, we can’t recreate a living, breathing dinosaur. Unlike in Jurassic Park, where scientists filled in the gaps with frog DNA, real-life genetic engineering doesn’t work that way.

3. Finding a Suitable Surrogate

In Jurassic Park, dinosaurs were grown inside modified ostrich eggs. However, even their closest living relatives — birds — have reproductive systems that are vastly different from ancient dinosaurs. A dinosaur embryo might not be compatible with any modern-day egg, making implantation and development impossible.

Alternative Ways to Bring Dinosaurs Back

While cloning is off the table, scientists are exploring other ways to bring back dinosaurs — or at least something similar.

1. Reverse Engineering Birds

Birds are the closest living relatives of dinosaurs, and some scientists are experimenting with “de-evolving” them by manipulating their DNA. Researchers have successfully created chicken embryos with dinosaur-like traits, such as teeth and long tails, by activating ancient genes. While this won’t bring back a T. rex, it could give us a glimpse into the past.

2. Finding Preserved Cells in Amber

In Jurassic Park, scientists extract dinosaur DNA from mosquitoes trapped in amber. While this is a thrilling concept, no scientifically verified dinosaur DNA has ever been found in amber. Even if it were, it would likely be too damaged to be useful.

3. Creating a Hybrid Species

Some scientists propose using CRISPR gene-editing technology to modify existing animals, such as crocodiles or birds, to resemble dinosaurs. While this wouldn’t be a “real” dinosaur, it could lead to the creation of dinosaur-like creatures with certain genetic traits.

Could Jurassic Park Ever Happen?

For now, cloning a dinosaur is scientifically impossible due to DNA degradation and missing genetic information. However, advancements in genetic engineering may allow scientists to create dinosaur-inspired creatures in the future.

Even if we could bring dinosaurs back, should we?

Ethical concerns about de-extinction include habitat loss, ecological disruption, and the potential dangers of releasing ancient predators into the modern world.

Final Thoughts

While Jurassic Park remains science fiction, the idea of reviving prehistoric creatures continues to inspire scientific research. Whether through reverse engineering birds, hybrid experiments, or further DNA discoveries, the dream of bringing dinosaurs back may not be completely extinct.

Reproduction in Flowering PlantsFlowering plants, also known as angiosperms, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive strategies, encompassing both sexual and asexual mechanisms.

These mechanisms ensure the continuation of the species and contribute to their evolutionary success.

Sexual Reproduction:

Flower Formation: The reproductive structures of flowering plants are housed within specialized organs called flowers. Flowers typically consist of four main parts: sepals, petals, stamens (male reproductive organs), and pistils (female reproductive organs).

Pollination: Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the male reproductive organ (stamen) to the female reproductive organ (pistil) of a flower. This can occur through various agents, including wind, water, insects, birds, and mammals.

Fertilization: Upon reaching the stigma (the receptive part of the pistil), pollen grains germinate and grow pollen tubes, which penetrate the style and reach the ovary. Fertilization occurs when sperm nuclei from pollen grains fuse with egg cells within the ovules, forming zygotes. This process gives rise to seeds.Seed Formation: After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed, consisting of the embryo, endosperm (nutrient reserve), and seed coat (protective covering). The ovary, which housed the ovules, typically matures into a fruit.

Seed Dispersal: Fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds, ensuring that they are carried away from the parent plant and dispersed over a wide area. This enhances the chances of germination and the establishment of new plants.

Asexual Reproduction:Vegetative Propagation: Many flowering plants have the ability to reproduce asexually through vegetative propagation. This process involves the growth of new plants from specialized vegetative structures such as stems, roots, or leaves.

Runners and Stolons: Some plants produce specialized horizontal stems called runners or stolons, which grow above or below the ground and give rise to new plants at nodes along their length. Examples include strawberry plants and certain species of grasses.

Rhizomes: Rhizomes are underground stems that spread horizontally and give rise to new shoots and roots at nodes. Plants such as ginger, bamboo, and irises reproduce through rhizomes.Bulbs, Corms, and Tubers: Bulbs, corms, and tubers are modified underground storage organs that can give rise to new plants. Examples include onions (bulbs), crocuses (corms), and potatoes (tubers).

Tissue Culture: In modern agriculture and horticulture, tissue culture techniques are employed to propagate plants rapidly from small amounts of plant tissue. This method is particularly useful for producing large numbers of genetically identical plants, such as in the case of ornamental plants and crops.

Conclusion:Reproduction in flowering plants is a complex process involving both sexual and asexual mechanisms. Sexual reproduction, facilitated by flowers, ensures genetic diversity through the formation of seeds. Asexual reproduction offers advantages such as rapid propagation and the production of genetically identical offspring. Together, these reproductive strategies contribute to the survival and proliferation of flowering plant species in diverse habitats worldwide.

6 IVF Options Every Couple Should Explore

With the latest fertility science advancements, IVF(In-Vitro Fertilisation) brings hope for many couples dreaming of a family. IVF isn’t just one treatment, its a spectrum of possibilities. It gives you wide range of options to choose based on your body, medical history and personal preferences.Whether you’re just starting on this journey or have been on this for a while, understanding your IVF choices helps you to make informed decisions. Let’s explore six IVF options in this blog that every couple should know about on their journey to parenthood.  

1. Conventional IVF: The Classic Route

This is the most common and well-known form of IVF which is widely tried and tested by many. It involves stimulating the ovaries with hormone injections to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are retrieved and fertilised in the lab using the partner’s sperm. After fertilisation, one or more of the healthiest embryos get transferred into the uterus. 

Best suited for:

Couples with unexplained infertility

Women under 35 with good ovarian reserve

Cases where both partners are using their own eggs and sperm

This method is tried and tested but success can heavily depend on age factor and egg quality.

2. Mini IVF or Natural Cycle IVF: Gentler Approaches

For some reasons, some women prefer a less intensive yet successful option is they’re sensitive to medications or they want to avoid high hormonal doses. This method is called Mini IVF or Natural Cycle IVF, the former uses low dose stimulation and the later one is done without medications. In this method, fewer eggsa re retrieved but may produce higher quality embryos in select cases.

Best suited for:

Women with low ovarian reserve

Those wanting a more natural or body-friendly approach

Women prone to side effects or at risk for OHSS

Since fewer eggs are collected, this path may find physically and emotionally easier for the patients.

3. ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): Targeted for Male Factor Infertility

For couples facing fertility issues due to the male partner, ICSI can be a game changer. In this method, healthy sperm is injected directly into an egg by an embryologist.

Best suited for:

Men with low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology

Couples with previous IVF fertilisation failures

Cases using frozen or surgically retrieved sperm

This method has significant success rates for many couples where the sperm needed a little help to get into the egg.

4. Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): Timed for Success

In this method embryos created in the previous IVF cycle are kept frozen and are transferred in the future cycle. It gives the woman’s body time to recover from ovarial stimulation and maintains a optimal hormonal environment.

Best suited for:

Women who experienced OHSS

Couples delaying pregnancy for health or personal reasons

Those using PGT (genetic testing) before embryo transfer

This method has increased success rates and some research suggests frozen transfers can lead to healthier pregnancies in certain cases.

5. Donor IVF: When Your Own Gametes Aren’t Viable

When the either of the partners can’t use their egg or sperm due to medical , genetic conditions or due to age related reasons, this method is a powerful alternative. They can experience the joy of pregnancy and childbirth using donor eggs, sperm or embryos.

Best suited for:

Women with poor egg quality or early menopause

Men with non-retrievable sperm

Same-sex couples or single parents by choice

Mentally choosing donor IVF can be complex but it opens the door for parenthood.

6. Surrogacy: When Carrying the Pregnancy Isn’t Possible

Due to some reasons, some may not be medically fit or physically healthy to carry a pregnancy. In such cases, gestational surrogacy is done where another healthier woman carries the pregnancy using the couple’s embryo.

Best suited for:

Women with uterine abnormalities or past surgeries

Those with medical conditions that make pregnancy risky

Same-sex male couples

This method involves legal, financial and emotional considerations.

Choosing the Right Path for You

Each IVF procedures comes with its own set of considerations which should align medically, emotionally,financially and ethically with the couples who opt for and for the hospitals to perform this procedures. Its crucial to sit with a fertility specialist and analyse your case and understand your unique story.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) are methods used during IVF to check embryos for health issues before pregnancy. PGD is an older technique that looks for specific genetic problems or disorders. PGT is a broader term that refers to testing all chromosomes of the embryo.

While both help find healthy embryos, PGT is generally used for diverse genetic issues and is more advanced. In IVF, after fertilization, one or more cells from the embryo are analyzed. This check helps select the best embryo for transfer, increasing chances of a healthy pregnancy.

Check Out The Differences Between  PGTA & PGTM In Nepal - IVF PGTA In Nepal

PGTA (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy), also known as PGT-A, focuses on spotting abnormal numbers of chromosomes. It is often used for women over 35 or those with repeated IVF failures.

PGTM (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic diseases) or PGT-M targets single-gene disorders, like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia. It helps couples known to carry genetic diseases.

These tests are recommended based on family history, age, or previous pregnancy history. In contrast, World Fertility Services Clinic is the leading choice for further consultation in which our staff or IVF specialists will assist to choose the best IVF PGD/PGS in Nepal at an affordable cost.

FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization): Looks for specific chromosomes.

aCGH (Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization): Compares all chromosomes for abnormalities.

NGS (Next Generation Sequencing): Offers detailed and accurate genetic info, becoming more popular because of its precision.

Advances like NGS are gaining ground in Nepal, making testing more reliable and accessible.

What Are The Benefits & Limitations Of Genetic Testing In IVF? - IVF With PGD In Nepal

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been significantly impacted by genetic testing, particularly through Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), which allows for the examination of embryos for genetic or chromosomal issues before they are implanted. This innovation brings several benefits, such as higher success rates in IVF, a lower likelihood of miscarriage, and the chance to prevent the inheritance of genetic disorders.  

However, similar to any medical procedure, it has its drawbacks, such as increased costs, ethical dilemmas, and the possibility of inconclusive or inaccurate results. Understanding the pros and cons of genetic testing is vital for couples in Nepal and elsewhere as they make well-informed decisions regarding their reproductive paths.

Significant Keys To Choose PGT/PGD/PGTA/PGTM In Nepal

Higher success rate: Fewer IVF cycles needed, saving time and money.

Reduces genetic risks: Helps avoid passing inherited conditions.

Better embryo selection: Increases the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

Challenges & Limitations

Cost: These tests can be expensive, which might be a concern for many in Nepal.

Risks with embryo biopsy: Though rare, there is a small chance of damaging the embryo.

Testing accuracy: No test is perfect; some errors may occur.

Ethical concerns: Deciding which embryo to transfer can raise ethical questions.

Success Rates & Examples

Globally, clinics report success rates of around 60-70% for healthy pregnancies when using PGT. Many couples in Nepal have benefited from such testing, especially those with genetic disease history. These results show that paying attention to genetic health can make a real difference.

What Is The PGT IVF Cost In Nepal For Infertile Couples? - IVF PGT In Nepal

PGT-IVF (Preimplantation Genetic Testing with In Vitro Fertilization) is an advanced reproductive treatment that has become more widely available in Nepal for couples experiencing infertility or genetic issues. This process involves screening embryos for genetic problems prior to implantation, considerably increasing the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy. 

While this method is more costly than traditional IVF, a significant number of couples believe the financial outlay is justified by the potential benefits, including a lower risk of miscarriage and the possibility of preventing genetic conditions passed down through families.

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) is commonly used to screen for single-gene disorders and typically costs between INR 200,000 to 300,000. PGT, which is a broader term covering different types of genetic and chromosomal screening, has an estimated cost of INR 150,000 to 200,000. One specific type, PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy), is used to detect chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomies. It generally costs around INR 25,000 to 50,000 per embryo, with a total cost ranging from approximately INR 150,000 to 200,000 depending on the number of embryos tested. Another type, PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic disorders), identifies single-gene mutations like cystic fibrosis and is priced similarly to or slightly higher than PGT-A on a per-embryo basis.

From Lab to Life: How Blastocyst Culture and Transfer at SCI IVF Hospital Boosts IVF Success

When couples face challenges in their journey to parenthood, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like in-vitro fertilization (IVF) provide an invaluable opportunity for conception. Among the most advanced techniques in the IVF process is Blastocyst Culture and Transfer Procedure. This procedure has proven to be a game-changer in increasing success rates while reducing the risk of multiple pregnancies. At SCI IVF Hospital, a leading fertility center, this cutting-edge method is used to enhance the chances of pregnancy, offering hope to many couples who have experienced IVF setbacks in the past.

Let’s dive deeper into what Blastocyst Culture and Transfer is, how it works, its benefits, and who would benefit from it.

What Is Blastocyst?

To understand the concept of Blastocyst Culture, it's essential to first know what a blastocyst is. A blastocyst refers to an embryo that has developed for 5 to 6 days after fertilization. It’s the critical stage before the embryo implants into the uterine lining of the mother. The blastocyst stage is a more advanced stage of embryo development where it has divided into a more complex structure. At this point, the embryo consists of two primary cell types:

Trophectoderm – These cells help the embryo to implant into the uterine lining, playing a pivotal role in initiating the pregnancy process.

Inner Cell Mass – This group of cells will eventually develop into the fetus.

The blastocyst stage is key because only the strongest, most viable embryos make it to this stage, ensuring a higher chance of successful implantation and pregnancy.

What Is the Blastocyst Culture and Transfer Procedure?

Normally, embryos are transferred into the uterus 2 to 3 days after fertilization. However, in the case of Blastocyst Culture and Transfer, the embryo is cultured for an additional 2 to 3 days (totaling 5 to 6 days). This allows the embryos to develop further, ensuring that only the healthiest ones are selected for transfer. At SCI IVF Hospital, this technique is used as part of the IVF process to increase pregnancy success rates.

In simple terms, the Blastocyst Culture procedure involves growing the embryo in the lab for several days until it reaches the blastocyst stage. Once the embryo has reached this stage, the best quality blastocyst is selected and transferred into the mother’s uterus. The goal is to ensure that the embryo has the highest potential for implantation and a successful pregnancy.

Benefits of Blastocyst Culture and Transfer Procedure

The Blastocyst Culture and Transfer Procedure offers several benefits, making it one of the most preferred techniques in modern IVF treatments:

1. Higher Success Rates

Embryos that reach the blastocyst stage are more likely to result in successful implantation and pregnancy. By allowing the embryo to develop longer in the lab, fertility specialists can choose only the strongest embryos for transfer, significantly increasing the chances of success.

2. Reduction of Multiple Pregnancies

One of the key advantages of Blastocyst Culture and Transfer is the reduction in the risk of multiple pregnancies. Since only the best-quality embryos are selected for transfer, fertility specialists at SCI IVF Hospital can often perform single embryo transfer (SET), thus reducing the risk of twins or higher-order multiples.

3. Improved Implantation Success for Patients with Previous IVF Failures

For patients who have undergone IVF previously without success, the Blastocyst Culture and Transfer Procedure provides a better chance for implantation. This is particularly beneficial for patients with repeated implantation failure.

4. Genetic Screening Opportunities

With advancements in genetic testing, Blastocyst Culture offers the opportunity for embryo biopsy. Genetic testing can be performed on embryos to screen for potential abnormalities. Only genetically normal embryos are transferred, further improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

5. Optimal Timing for Implantation

The blastocyst stage is the natural point at which embryos implant in the uterus. Therefore, transferring embryos at this stage closely mimics the natural fertilization process and increases the chances of successful implantation.

Disadvantages of the Blastocyst Culture Procedure

As with any medical procedure, Blastocyst Culture and Transfer has some potential disadvantages:

Not All Embryos Reach the Blastocyst Stage Not every embryo will make it to the blastocyst stage. This means that, in some cases, there may not be an embryo viable for transfer. This can be a setback if there is a limited number of embryos available for culture.

Risk of Identical Twins Although single embryo transfer is typically performed to reduce the chances of multiple pregnancies, there is still a possibility that identical twins may result if the blastocyst splits into two embryos.

Who Should Consider Blastocyst Culture?

Blastocyst Culture and Transfer Procedure is a highly effective technique for many couples, but it is particularly suitable for:

Women under 35 with a good ovarian reserve and multiple healthy eggs, increasing their chances of producing high-quality embryos that are likely to reach the blastocyst stage.

Couples with previous IVF failures due to poor embryo quality or repeated implantation failure.

Couples seeking single embryo transfer to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies.

Women undergoing IVF with genetic screening to avoid passing on inherited conditions.

When Is Blastocyst Culture Not Recommended?

This procedure may not be suitable for women with low egg quality or who do not have a sufficient number of eggs. It may also be less effective for women with advanced age, particularly those over 40, as the quality of their eggs tends to decline with age. Additionally, if there are few embryos available for culture, there may not be enough viable embryos to undergo Blastocyst Culture.

The Role of Surgical Sperm Retrieval in IVF

In certain cases, male infertility factors may prevent sperm from being readily available for fertilization. At SCI IVF Hospital, Surgical Sperm Retrieval (SSR) is a procedure that is often used to retrieve sperm directly from the male reproductive system. This is particularly helpful in cases where sperm count is low, or sperm cannot be collected through regular ejaculation.

SSR techniques, such as Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) or Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA), can be used to obtain sperm for IVF and Blastocyst Culture and Transfer. This ensures that the fertility process can proceed even when male infertility is a significant challenge.

Conclusion

The Blastocyst Culture and Transfer Procedure is a highly advanced IVF technique that increases the chances of pregnancy by selecting only the healthiest embryos for transfer. With its ability to improve implantation rates, reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies, and even provide genetic screening, it offers a beacon of hope to couples struggling with infertility. At SCI IVF Hospital, couples are offered personalized care with the latest fertility technology, including Surgical Sperm Retrieval, to ensure the best chances of success in their IVF journey.

If you’ve had previous IVF failures, or if you’re facing fertility challenges, Blastocyst Culture may be the solution you’ve been waiting for. It’s a transformative procedure that continues to change lives, helping many couples finally achieve the dream of parenthood.
