Only a woman would comprehend what it feels like to give birth to a child. Having a child is one gift that nearly every woman craves for. It is the most desired thing on earth for huge numbers of women.
So it is little wonder that unfortunate women who are infertile, or who have been diagnosed with a serious condition, such as cancer, are so desperate to have a baby that they are ready to go bankrupt, or even risk death, to give birth.
University College London, have just held a conference on motherhood, which was chaired by Professor Sammy Lee, an infertility expert, and chief scientist of the IVF program at Wellington Hospital.
He addressed the issue of some women’s obsession with having a child, and aired some of his observations. According to him, a considerable number of unfortunate women are ready to risk anything, and everything, to have a child. For example, cancer patients who want to have a baby first, before going for treatment. And many are desperate to find the funds for IVF at absolutely any cost.
The advancement of medical science has allowed these women to hope against hope, and in situations where they know there is very little chance of success, they are stubbornly unwilling to give up, they are risking it all, and make the clinicians comply with their demands, regardless of personal risk, or little, or no chance, of success.
