Ivf On The Nhs

[mrs_overall]

Another post on population growth got me thinking about this. The NHS is already stretched to capacity and infertility is not a life threatening illness. IMO no one has the "right" to have a child and I don't see why NHS resources should be spent on IVF,
Your thoughts?

The NHS could save a lot of money by turning the heating down. Not only are they wasting energy by overheating the offices but I'm having to have the fan on constantly to stop myself melting.

I've read almost all these answers, and nobody seems to have pointed out that some forms of infertility treatment can actually produce a child who himself would be infertile. If a sperm is injected because a man has feeble sperm, a resultant boy will probably have exactly the same problem. You wouldn't be solving the problem so much as extending it. This sort of fertility assistance should definitely be refused.
