Should gays and lesbians have access to IVF? IVF is a great invention of modern science; it allows couples who were previously unable to have children to finally have that family they have always wanted. However, IVF is a limited resource and should only be available to those who are infertile. This raises the question- should gays and lesbians be considered infertile? Many people claim that gays and lesbians are psychologically infertile, meaning that they are psychologically unable to conceive a child with a person of the opposite gender, so therefore can be diagnosed infertile and have access to IVF. This may be true. They may not want to, or be able to, but I don’t think this is just cause for them to be diagnosed infertile, just the same as someone who is physically unable to conceive a baby. Say we did allow gays and lesbians to be diagnosed psychologically infertile, and have the privileges as a legitimately infertile couple.
