[quote=Anonymous]When you have infertility it is always a struggle for others to understand this is a medical condition and not say a lifestyle choice of wanting to have kids in your 50 s (generally speaking of course). We need ART to have children... and many of us from young ages. .. and no amount of what we can do (eating well etc) will change that.  There is so much offensive bias against us.  So I think we are even more protective of ART being medically guided because it could open a Pandora ' s box If ART is accessible to the non infertile to do things like gender selection. Imagine what would happen in China!  I remember reading something where someone did not choose donor egg because it felt too much like the handmaid s tale. Well some people cannot birth children of their own without donor egg so that mentality is very hurtful and we have to fight against it always and ... say hey...I need this medically.  So again if donor egg or other ART becomes about vanity we lose something... as it does become handmaids taleish. So while I would not say I would never do what op wants. .. if I had NINE embryos maybe I would., I am uncomfortable with this direction for ART.[/quote]
