IVF age limit 'should be raised to 42'

lollywood

Women in their early 40s should be given access to IVF on the NHS, draft guidelines for England and Wales recommend.

NICE says the current age limit of 39 should be raised to 42 for women who have no other chance of conceiving.

The draft, which updates 2004 guidance, suggests other new groups who should be eligible for treatment.

They include same-sex couples and people facing cancer treatment who wish to preserve their fertility

What a nice thing to do

I don't agree with same sex couples getting IVF

What if they say we want a baby but we can't help our sexual preference?

^ Thats the most you could do. Do you think telling them that they're being silly will encouarge them to try flying, knowing that they'll most likley bump their head and have a nasty fall.

I don't get it. How is raising the age limit from 39 to 42 going to make a difference? If IVF is being used to have kids (with a man and woman, not homosexuals) then that would mean that people will have older parents!

Why should I tell them anything?

They did not ask me should I drink or not?
