Yes. When I was last in hospital with my 'woman's problems' (for those
who don't know by now I have polycystic ovaries - there is an upside,
I've not had to buy any sanitary protection for about 6 months now.
The downside is that becoming pregnant is probably going to mean IVF;
which is why proponents of IVF not being available on the NHS always
make me so angry. I'm DESPERATE to be a mother, and I cannot afford to
go private. Why should I be denied?)

Because people who need medical treatment for worse problems that are
causing serious illnesses that kill and destroy quality of life can't
get the treatment they need due to lack of NHS resources, and putting
money into IVF makes that problem even worse.

Being unable to conceive - that's just the luck of the draw: you are not
harmed in any way by being unable to have a baby, it's just that you'd
like one. There are a lot of things that people would like but can't
have.

Take my position. I would have liked to have been a father (I might be
- biologically, anyway. But I've not been told if it's the case) - but
the fact that I've had no treatment for my mental health problems means
that it's never been a practical proposition, so that's been off the
cards completely and now it's probably too late what given the money
required these days and the retirement age of the sole earner in the
household etc.

And how much sympathy do I get for this? None at all. Any recognition
that I've been hard done by? None.

But it happened to me due to lack of NHS resources to deal with genuine
medical problems.

And there are people with Alzheimer's disease and with cancer and other
serious illnesses who can't get the treatment they need because it costs
too much - and you would kill more of these people by taking resources
from medical care and putting them into making the population problem
even worse, as well as adding costs to the state well above that of just
the IVF: all the medical and other costs of looking after a child from
birth, for example. The cost is *HUGE*.

IVF on the NHS is a killer of innocent people.

How can anyone justify that?

You what?! How about my mental distress every time I see a mother with
a child eh? "No harm", eh? Bull***. And reading about/hearing about/
meeting kids barely out of primary school with at least one kid in tow
- how the *** do you think *THAT* makes me feel, eh?!

For someone who claims to understand how I feel, you're really
extremely clueless.

Okay, you want to know what *I* think should be denied on the NHS?!
*ANY* kind of treatment for smokers (and, maybe, alcoholics). They
*CHOSE* to *** up their bodies, *I* didn't choose to be infertile,
ergo I have more rights to free NHS treatment than they do. No one
holds a gun to your head and forces you to smoke, y'know.

But, then, you're a bloke, of *COURSE* you'd not understand.

As you would say - go stick yer head in a pig.
