Ok, first let me say I am not judging anyone for any reason, I am just starting a discussion, and this is not intended to offend anyone...
Fertility treatments, some cannot have a baby but wants one so bad they'll do almost anything... Where does it end?
Most say in vitro and things are a miracle, wonderful, etc....Others think its crazy, playing God, and now with technology advancing you can choose eye color, gender, etc,... where does it end that it is no longer child bearing but a science experiment on human beings?
What do you think? Should a line be drawn? Or should we go ahead and give people any and every opportunity technology affords?

I think it's important that boundaries are pushed so that we can fully understand how things work, however I feel some should be halted. I think looking into ways of people who are older, that want to be parents should really be considered as possibly not the best choice of research. I know their was some news recently about some genes that could help this but is it good helping a 65+ year old to have a child that they might not see grow. It makes me sad to say it but I would rather see the money spent on research like this going studying cancer more.
