Do you think that IVF treatment should be free .?

While I think some people should receive IVF I feel that if they are that desperate for children they should fund it themselves and leave the monies otherwise used for things like Cancer and Altzheimers etc.\n\nI think if IVF was privately funded by the people themselves it would also encourage them to think about Adoption.\n\nHaving been told at 26 that I was not able to have children made me look at the whole children really differently and IVF was not an option for me.  There are thousands of children looking for love and the security of a family - lets give them a chance! Adoption should not be so hard maybe this should be looked into - I know there needs to be rules and regulations but don´t be too rigid age wise etc.\n\nOnly my opinion - but that´s what counts - right?

How else are they going to know if it works or not?  I don't always agree with what is being done but would you want to use an untested product that could hurt you or a family member.  Unfortunately the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.  I will admit some of the testing is not humane but it somes times needs to be done.  \n\nAre you volunteering to take their place?

I am for it. Esp if it can help cure diseases that we can not prevent with any other alternative method. Why wouldnt anyone want to spend more time with the ones they love. I do understand that stem cells come from aborted fetuses. But if we can use the stem cells that are collected to better help everyone then we should do what we can with what we have. But lets not start creating abortions to just harvest stem cell. I am healthy.

Yes for somethings healthcare can be free in the US. For most people it is not and we pay for it in way or another.

yes. You helped make that baby and it needs your financial support. I think that yes the system is sometimes corrupt and women do abuse this but the children still need monetary support. If the mother is financially secure you should still help out. Children only get more expensive as the years go by.\nDo your part.

Yes.  Governments fund all sorts of medical research projects as it is, so why not allow stem cell research to be a part of that?   \n\nIf you say "no" to stem cell research funded by governments because of tax money being spent as the issue (and not an objection because of moral grounds), then you should just say "no" to all research medical research by governments.  In this case, the issue appears to be that taxes should not be used for government funded medical research.  I think it extremely short-sighted.

All doctors have to offer are there skills and knowledge.  You can't expect freebies all the time.  If they let anyone have a free surgery and just hope for payment they will more than likely go broke or be sued.  They could lose their license and home for treating you and you don't want to pay?

I totally agree with you- they should make some sort of rules or make the wife's have a damn good reason about the getting pregant to begin with- pregnancy is not a mistake and baby's arn't exactly cheap or a pet. I give people credit- they are definatly not stupid enough to not know what birth control and condoms are, they are getting pregant for a reason because most of them have like 3 or 4 kids. I mean how can you have 3 or 4 kids by mistake? You'd think they'd learn the first time, but then again I guess the more kids they pop out the more they get from welfare. I know someone who uses her kids as an excuse not to get a job, go to college or even to get her liscence~! I don't know why she claims she cares about those kids if she can't even drive them to the ER if something happens to them!  But yet she can get married- I was about to ask her how she can A) afford it and B) how can you? remember you have kids? She wanted me to help with some of the expenses too- and I don't think that is my place. I totally argree with you on that 100% and I think the government understands there's ALOT of cases of this happening- so why won't they enforce some rules? But then again- it's like asking to bring our gas prices down again. America Land of the Free.

I personally don't believe that anyone should be forced to care for a child... and there is some bias in the women's direction due to them carrying the baby.  But I don't think it's fair that men can be expected to pay for the child if the women chooses not to abort...  That's a really tough call, though, because you don't want to take away the responsiblity of either party and provide excuses for more unwanted pregnancies....   hmmm...\n\nKeeping the legs crossed wins again!

Yes you should. There is no way to know for certain but for a Dr to check you. You can look for a clinic in your area if you are worried about the costs.

I'm still undecided on stem cell therapy.  As of right now, I'm not down with cutting up an embryo for the sake of someone else.  BUT if someone in my family were to get sick and could benefit from stem cells, I'm sure I'd be all for it.  (so what, I'm a hypocrite :)\n\nAnd cloning people is just stupid.  Why would you do that? We already have enough people running around this world.  It's a waste.  And it would morally wrong to clone ppl just for their organs.  So, again, NO on the cloning.

Whaaaaaa ?? I think people should have a license to breed; perhaps they'd be less indiscriminate. Love is not, however, something that can necessarily be controlled or mandated.

I think that's an excellent idea.  To an extent.  I'd go more with saying who's not aloud to breed and spaying them.  Click the link below for an example that proves my case.

personally, i think it's irresponsible. It might lead to a couple of extra bucks in your pocket, but I would rather that men know which kids are theirs and which aren't. If you want to help an infertile couple or woman, hand select them. PLEASE!!!

I do provide and improve alternatives. I'm a social worker that helps pregnant women for this reason.\n\nBut is killing a baby acceptable because of all your reasons? Expensive adoption? The birthmother doesn't pay, and there's a 10 million couple wait for an expensive adoption.\n\nFoster system? No need. Infants are easily adoptable, and apparantly these couples on the waiting list can endure the expenses. \n\nRegardless if your  examples were real or not, none of your reasons justify killing innocent unborn people.  \n\nPeriod.
