...should fertility treatment be given on the NHS? We are always being told how stretched the NHS is financially and how there are huge waiting lists etc etc, so should expensive IVF treatment be paid for by the NHS? I was watching 'Tonight with Trevor McDonald' last night, and there was a couple who were ex-heroin addicts that had been given IVF treatment on the NHS. Now aside from the obvious stupidity on the part of the NHS there, IVF treatment is not a NEED it is a WANT, and I think that the NHS should only pay out for treatment that people NEED.
What do you think?
Also, going back to the two ex-heroin addicts, I am pretty sure neither of them earned enough to afford a place to live or to look after their babies, so guess who's paying for their accommodation and everything else? Yes, us, the taxpayer. What's going on with this government?

Unfortunately, some things that go on are absolutely crazy and make no sense at all. Makes you wonder whose in the kitchen, doesn't it?

No. A person's ability or inability to conceive is not the problem of the US Government. We don't pay taxes to help people get pregnant.

Conservatives should be denied fertility treatments, and should be spayed and neutered on the NHS.
