IVF Poll

[Poll #271874]

Feel free to be honest! A good friend of mine defended the "no" vote to me recently, and I can see her point in that IVF is a "luxury" intervention - you are not curing a life threatening illness, you are just helping a couple indulge in their dream of a child.

I think it's only fair to ask how long the couple has been trying. Some people probably think that if it doesn't work within a couple of months, there is a problem. On the other hand, there's no way of checking the answer, and I don't think any attempt should be made to find out either. Simply asking the question is enough of a privacy invasion.
