Zacs-Master //Andy, if a new cancer beating drug was withdrawn for a relative of yours at the expense of a woman having a womb transplant, would that seem harsh to you? //

It would indeed. And if my leg fell off in the night, that would seem harsh to me too - but we're not debating that either - are we?

[Zacs-Master]

No, we're debating the bottomless pit of cash which you seem to think the NHS has.

A-H

\\\I don't think that will be a deal-breaker for an otherwise childless woman - do you?\\

My comment was about your comment concerning the woman, delivering her baby. My comment was that she won't have the pleasure of the screaming and shouting of childbirth as it will be delivered by C-section.

\\\\And I am happy for my financial contribution to the NHS to go in this direction. If I support stomach reductions for obese people, I am certainly happy to support this.\\\

Fair enough, but i am not happy to see stomach surgery for obesity on the NHS and certainly not womb transplants.

\\\\\Does that mean that only ladies of a certain income bracket are allowed to be mothers under this new system? No cash, no baby? \\\

Got it in one. They can afford a child, they can support a child so they can have a child.........if they pay. Cuts out the snotty nosed urchins that one sees around the place.

\\\\If they have no womb, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, wouldn't the hormones suppress the emotion to want a child? Sqad?\\\\

I would have thought so Zac, particularly the ones without ovaries.........

Then we seem to be wasting our time debating the scenario of these non-existant 'desperate' females.

Retro //If you are born without a womb hard luck -you can't have kids//
100% agree
My sister had to have her womb removed, never had kids and obviously couldnt after womb removal. Never bothered her and she got on with the life that she had. I also once had a girlfriend who couldnt have children, never bothered her either, (or me) she accepted it. I dont understand why some people think that its their RIGHT to have children. Its not a health issue.
In answer to OP, Frankenstein medicine.

I agree with Woofgang. Fine – but not paid for by the NHS.

[Cloverjo]

I agree it shouldn't be paid for by the NHS.
On a related theme, I also think IVF shouldn't be on NHS.

^Me too.
