[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope, though, that should you ever be in a situation where you have a unique medical need and you have insurance companies making it hard for you -- maybe there's some experimental technique that they've decided not to pay for -- that you run into some people with compassion.

It's not a medical need.  Nobody "needs" to have a child. It's not saving anybody's life. You're comparing apples and oranges.[/quote]

If a part of your body doesn't work properly that is a medical condition.  It would be a medical need to receive ART to conceive.  It circumvents the medical problem.  Just like if a person needs a feeding tube.  It's not fixing the problem but circumventing it.  The end result is nourishment.  The end result of ART is conception.

It's also not saving anyone's life to give implants to a deaf person so they can hear.  Or paying for reconstructive surgery on someone who received a disfiguring injury.

Nobody "needs" to hear or walk or speak to live.  I don't think your argument is valid.[/quote]
