    Briggies Girl - I know that the poll was refering too. But I was responding to the original post with regards to Angelina and Brad.

    Your completely right, it is wrong that the media are using such a personal issue to sell more magazines. And I stand by my opionon with regards to how that may make Angelina and Brad feel. And (as I said in my post) I dont beleive that anyone has the right to question anyones reasons for using IVF or assisted conception It is for most people a very private personal decision and I imagine a very emotional time. It is an option that myself, partner and doctor have discussed for myself and I wouldnt like being questioned on my reasons for pursuing it if we decided to go through with it. So in that in mind I wouldnt questions others.

    I personally dont find it insulting because everyone has reasons for pursuing it, BUT having said that i dont beleive that I am in a position have a strong opinion on the matter because I am not personally using assisted conception at this stage.

    You brought up 2 really interesting points Marydean.
    I hope that there no-one is missing out, or being priced out.
