I hope IVF goes away. [View all]

Reading through this story of one woman's infertility problems, I was struck by the thought that we would be better off eliminating fertility medicine and working harder to help people accept infertility and work through it. In other words, I think the author has been driven slightly mad by years of fertility treatments, miscarriages, and the psychological torture that accompanied her on her journey. I personally know someone who was very willing to kill herself trying to have a baby, and is alive now only because her husband called a halt. "I can live without a baby, but I can't live with you dying trying to have a baby."
