Critics argue that such experiments could pave the way for unconventional family structures, including polyamorous relationships and same-sex couples, where multiple adults&#8217; DNA is combined in reproduction.The article warns that these developments may contribute to the erosion of conventional family and marriage, potentially harming children who face higher risks of abuse and instability in such arrangements. Moreover, it expresses concern that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-announces-major-investment-in-ivf-to-reverse-birth-rate-collapse\/\" title=\"China Announces Major Investment in ... to Reverse Birth Rate Collapse\">assisted reproductive technologies<\/a> like IVF and emerging methods like in vitro gametogenesis (IVG) could accelerate societal decline by undermining established family structures critical for social and economic stability.
