wotsits Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 It is illegal to buy sperm on the internet. I remember a couple of lesbians on here trying to do so not long back. I never said it was illegal or not, fact is people do buy it ?? I was saying that the poster wanted to control who should and shouldn't have IVF and mentioned there should be 2 parents to bring a baby into the world. so I mentioned buying sperm as an example of not having two parents and families that have 1 parent for any other reason. Just to clear that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't illegal to search for a sperm donor privately and to carry out the process without any help from an external agency it all, however because of the potential legal complications it is strongly advisable to involve a solicitor at the very minimum.

Max the Cat Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Not neccasarily my freind mentiond in the above posts partner has 3 children to his ex partner but my friend has non of her own should she be denied the chance of her own baby? . Not necessarily. In Sheffield if you have no children you're entitled to six rounds of IUI and one round of IVF. If one of you has children you're entitled to nada free.

The thing is as well is that if you don't have children you pay the highest rate of tax and don't get the breaks people with children have which makes you even less likely to be able to pay for fertility treatment yourself.

Gothic_Angel Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Although I feel sympathy for anybody struggling to have children naturally, I don't agree with it being funded by the NHS. I have no problem with people having IVF or any other fertility treatment if they fund it themselves. People might think that cruel but imo the NHS is for treating sick people. I also feel the same about cosmetic surgery (with some exceptions like recontruction after accidents etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
