If any investors want to give More Dakka to in vitro gametogenesis research, my startup Ovelle Bio is fundraising! (I started this company last year after completing my PhD in IVG research, taking a synthetic biology approach.)
Generally I think that IVG won’t cause a major increase in society-wide fertility rates (which are mainly due to economic factors like housing, as you wrote), but paired with other technologies like embryo selection it will still make a big difference in humanity’s future. In other words, we may not get many more kids but the kids we do get will be much better.
Also: I’ve noticed there’s a huge variation in IVF prices at different clinics, even just within the USA. Some like CNY Fertility will do it for $6000 (though you have to travel to Albany NY) whereas most will be around $20000 and some even higher. It seems the market isn’t very efficient here.
