thank you for saying what you did.  I too think that using science to control nature and put children in frozen holding cells is selfish and compromises the health of the child.  i think that using science to force a pregnancy leads to children and parents that are less healthy and compromises our society as a whole.

I wanted to add that there are other options to treat infertility.  I am a 4th year student of chinese medicine and have seen personally at least 6 women have success in getting pregnant using acupuncture and herbs.  I have heard stories from each of my teachers of how they have treated women for fertility challenges.  I personally was able to get pregnant after not menstruating for several years and being told by several GYN doctors that I would need to take hormone supplements.  So I am just putting it out there for those who are daunted by the cost of in vitro, that acupuncture and herbal medicine works for many people at a much lower cost.
