    I'm not specifically talking about Brad and Angelina here, but when a couple uses IVF for the SOLE purpose of having twins, that to me, goes beyond IVF for the purpose of treating infertility, and becomes about taking for granted what your body can already do naturally in the pursuit of a 'fashion statement' (which, truthfully, is FAR from guaranteed, anyway).

    I do believe that it's fair for people to have an opinion on the matter. I know I would have strong opinions if IVF were used to help a convicted child abuser conceive a child, so there is a line in the sand that we all have as to what we feel is acceptable and unacceptable to us. And no, I have no problems with anyone questioning why I used IVF to conceive. I know why I have - I am infertile. Which is what IVF treats. I've certainly not kept it a secret, so why would I have a problem with that?
