IVF age limit 'should be raised to 42'
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

Women in their early 40s can adopt.
Same sex couples choose out of the baby making option by choice of their lifestyles.

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

What if someone is standing on top of a cliff and says he can fly?

^ 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!

I was being funny
Why should I tell them anything?
They did not ask me should I drink or not?
