I believe that this whole business of fertility treatments, in-vitro fertilization, and embryo transfer is just plain weird and too sci-fi for my tastes. I do not support fertility treatments to ensure that a woman has children, and I believe if your body was not biologically capable to bear children, then there is likely a good reason for it.
But I wonder about my opinion, because, I’m not a woman. And I imagine a woman who desires to have children, but can’t through natural means, is crushed by being told “No” to what could be her only real chance at having a child. That must hurt in some way I could never understand.
But then again, some women act out of desperation, selfishness and greed. They desire something that perhaps isn’t meant for them, and rather than truly considering the consequences and the possibilities, they fall in love with the idea itself. It moves from being a desire to an obsession, which makes them lose sight of priorities and what’s right.
