Hopefully, we don't have to wait till 2040! In Denmark, 8% of babies in 2016 were born thru IVF. 8%! https://qz.com/677335/by-the-year-2040-embryo-selection-will-replace-sex-as-the-way-most-of-us-make-babies/ … Danish source: https://sundhedsdatastyrelsen.dk/da/tal-og-analyser/analyser-og-rapporter/andre-analyser-og-rapporter/assisteret-reproduktion …

Is that the global record? The highest I've heard of before was Japan at 5%. It's mindboggling to think that almost 1 in 10 Danish kids involve IVF.
I think so. There's a review paper every year on the topic, but it's a few years delayed because aggregating the data takes a while. Latest comparison is 2013 data. I looked at the recent Danish source to get newest values. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Christian_De_Geyter/publication/320961703_Assisted_reproductive_technology_in_Europe_2013_results_generated_from_European_registers_by_ESHRE/links/5a058429a6fdcceda0340832/Assisted-reproductive-technology-in-Europe-2013-results-generated-from-European-registers-by-ESHRE.pdf … https://scholar.google.dk/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C31&q=%22results+generated+from+European+registers+by+ESHRE%22&btnG= …

Table 2, 'ART infants per national births', right?
-
Yep. I'd like to extract their data from every year into a spreadsheet, so we can plot and model the timeline trends. How soon do we reach 25%? 50%? Unfortunately, their website has no downloadable data, so one has to manually get it from their tables from each paper.

This review is quite good, but seemingly does not cover the obvious question of ART% of total births, which is the value we need to estimate impact of embryo selection.https://academic.oup.com/hropen/article/2017/2/hox012/4096838 …

I believe there's some legislation effects. E.g. Sweden much lower than Denmark because Swedish law is very restrictive, so people go to Copenhagen.
