[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister lives in Italy, is married to an Italian man, and has been an Italian citizen for nearly 20 years. They had an incredibly hard time conceiving. She was dead set against surrogacy, which is fine and was her personal choice so they ended up researching adoption. Due to their advanced age 39 and 40, they were told they would never be able to adopt an infant. They would at best be able to adopt a 7 or 8-year-old. They opted for IVF. The Italian government pays for 5 rounds and they ended up having a girl after the 5th round.

I think it's extremely irrational and irresponsible to outlaw surrogacy while at the same time sponsoring IVF. Especially in a country that struggles with birth rates so much. [/quote]

Personally, I think it is extremely irrational and irresponsible to encourage surrogacy. It’s harmful to women and to babies. [/quote]

seriously- your sister got the bets possible ending- HER own baby and the government paid for it, Im confused as to why you think a surrogate wouldve been a better option?  if its b.c this put your sisters life at risk.. well WOW. [/quote]

Please don't assign words to me that I didn't write. I didn't say my sister should have had a surrogate instead of IVF. She did get the best possible outcome FOR HER and I'm extremely happy that she has a child. But she is only one of many, and for so many IVF never works. Surrogacy might be their only option. I see nothing wrong with either surrogacy, IVF or adoption. You need to explain to me why IVF and embryos that never get used is morally superior to a consenting woman carrying a healthy child for someone. [/quote]
