in my country, Poland, there’s a government programme to which you can sign up and if you meet some criteria, you get a full refund of the costs of the whole IVF procedure. Surrogacy is banned. Do you think that’s a reasonable solution or do you still think that the amount of resources consumed by IVF alone makes it not worth it?
I’m not sure. that is a very good question. I wonder how much that’s costing your government to fund, I wonder if those doctors were oncologists or focusing on some other preventable disease, their time would better serve society. I know every country right now is trying to reverse population decline, I know some countries are offering money or tax incentives. Others are doing what you mentioned. And none of it is working to stem the decline. So I think IVF solves a personal problem, but I don’t think itsolves a societal problem regarding population decline.

so I guess no I don’t think it’s worth it.
