Kelly, i know this topic has gone off point from what you started it out as, and i'm sorry if i have contributed to that in any way. i am just passionate about making sure people understand this from the POV of a long termer...
I thought that the majority of posts in this thread were great. It's obvious that people have some very strong opinions on this topic, and for the most part, I thought everyone was debating in an extrememly mature manner. I want to thank everyone for making this thread very enjoyable to read, thought provoking, and for teaching those of us that don't know much about IVF more about the procedures, details and emotions involved.

Kelly, I don't think that the journalist should feel bad at all about the responses that were posted. There are some great responses that I think really encompass the entire issue. I understand if she no longer wants to run the article, but I think that an article could actually highlight some of the "unknowns" about IVF to the general public.
