 Infertility
Crisis
United States is not the only country experiencing an infertility
crisis.
Medical
News - Half those delaying pregnancy leave it too late, UK 01
Oct 2004 "Half of all women who put off trying for a baby until
their 30s will fail to have a child, a new survey claims... women
tend to overestimate how many childbearing years they have left and
experts are now calling for sex education in schools to discuss how
to get pregnant in adulthood.
Infertility problems are not fun. But with all the money to be made
from infertility treatments, medical professionals and scientists
neglect to promote ways to prevent infertility. These professionals
are letting people down, not serving them in the best way possible.
There have been reports that a human egg has sold by brokers for as
much as $40,000 and a mother to incubate her own child as a "surrogate"
for $170,000. But the egg donor (natural mother) gets only thousands
per egg or less as multiple eggs are extracted per $5,000 "donation".
No wonder the professionals don't want to prevent an infertility
crisis. But for the child raised in a situation where she is cut off
from all or half of her natural family, it is not an ideal situation.
The Surgeon General is calling for open records for adoptees - I
hope the Surgeon General will also insist on some regulations preventing
solicitation or payments for a man or woman's potential children.
Association with natural family - and knowledge of your natural family
- is not only a good idea for medical reasons - it is a human right.
