Is there now a way for everyone to have a baby?

It seems as if anyone can have a child so long as they have enough money, which seems to be turning society to a baby grabbing frenzy. Regardless of age, even if you are a woman that is over sixty, you can now have a child thanks to the billion dollar IVF industry.
Single and gay people can now hope to have a child due to the many advances in IVF, although moral questions seemed to be housed under another roof. A simple glance at the recent London Fertility show indicates how many ways of giving birth is available to a wide demographic of people.
You can now choose the gender of a child, screen out any genetic problems, and possibly even rent a surrogate to house your child until it is born. For single people, there are plenty of egg and sperm donors that allow you to choose everything from eye colour to intelligence.
One area that often has been recognized as an area for heartache for infertile couples is of course infertility, but no longer are IVF treatments reserved just for them. As science continues to advance many people who may have thought child bearing was never an option now can entertain the idea of raising a child.
Of course, this raises plenty of new questions within the UK about what types of legislation should be put in place to keep child bearing morally acceptable, but with many fertility clinics just a short ride away harbouring reproduction assistance will never be practical.
