If you look at reproduction as a question of womens increasing freedom to control their fertility, then all these medical technologies are good. But if you think we are somehow going against nature in all this, then you are effectively denying women more freedom. This chill out film makes a very important point.

The scientist in this report makes a very strong case for IVF and PGD. As a woman, such a facility gives me more freedom and it saves lives. We should get over our reservations about designer babies, parents are not monsters, they are adults who are able to make decisions about their children.

It is ridiculous to be stagnantly against something that is actually Good. If we can prevent health trauma for our future kids - there is nothing wrong with it and it should be done.

I really enjoyed discovering more about IVF and PGD for Joe, what remarkable technology and times we live in. Of-course this should be celebrated and more money made available so every woman in the world can use these facilities.

Having had cancer, my chances of having children have been cut dramatically. If IVF or PGD gives me, and many women in my position hope, and choices, then it can only be a good thing!
Also, a relative of mine was unable to carry boys, this could have saved the family from a lot of heartache with each miscarriage she had.

I don’t see why this is such a big issue. It’s the decision of the parents if they want IVF – it’s a great help for people who cannot have children naturally. What’s so bad about using science to fulfil our wishes? We’ve always done that. That’s what science is for. Medicine fulfils the wish of preserving life, ivf the wish to create life, and PID is practically a combination of the two.
Who says the PID children born are only seen as means anyway – parents love them all the same. And they are thankful. Besides, parents have always been deciding about medical procedures to do or not to do on their children, so why should it be different in this case?
Taking tissue doesn’t have long lasting negative effects on the kid after all, and saves the sibling. So, why can’t we just see PID as the positive thing it is? The life saving, life creating science.

Personal choice, in this case, parental choice. Who in her/his right mind can argue against that? Well!!! the Pope does......
