Yup, I'm searching the ether for moral guidance. :-) Just found out that IVF is the only way to make it happen, and $20,000 is the only way to make IVF happen.

Selfish? Is it selfish to treat a medical problem with medication? To have surgery for a medical problem? To choose how to spend your own time, money and resources to get what it is you desire? Please. People do what they need to do to get what they desire. If it takes finances, shots and drugs to have a baby through IVF, so be it. I'm just grateful an option like IVF even exists for people like me.Lyrehcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731508321420598343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-1164688352188281082006-11-27T23:32:00.000-05:002006-11-27T23:32:00.000-05:00God.

Was I selfish to engage another woman in an egg donation cycle because my eggs were dead? I think not. It takes a selfless person to raise anothers child as her own. Not all those "selfish" people who would not consider ART or adoption, but mostly because they are so amazingly fertile. I consider IF patients to be less selfish than the norm. We must work much harder to achieve what is a given in society today. We struggle for our children, and therefore are more hopeful for them. For how they will influence this world. And therefore, how we did.<BR/>KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-1164674160484894972006-11-27T19:36:00.000-05:002006-11-27T19:36:00.000-05:00That's the most beautiful blog Ive seen! your a Wo...That's the most beautiful blog Ive seen! your a Woman and in nature wich without we would all die!<BR/>100% behind what you said and you deserve "thatbaby" 101%Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-1164673563986314752006-11-27T19:26:00.000-05:002006-11-27T19:26:00.000-05:00I will never, EVER understand all of the judgement...I will never, EVER understand all of the judgement surrounding IVF.
