that is a question being answered by the national institute of clinical excellence who will recommend to the government that IVF should be available on the NHS but there are conditions to be levied upon people wishing to recieve the 'treatment' women over 40 are ineligable and women under 23 are likewise so what do you all think should the taxpayer pay for this ?

IMO they could spend it in a better manner instead the NHS continually wastes money on various 'treatments' which should be payed for by the public the people who want this 'treatment' in question as it is unnessecary its not a life threatning or harmful situation to anyone so why should the taxpayer foot the bill
