My Sister has been turned down by her PCT for IVF and we are looking t ways to help her raise the money for private treatment.
Her situation is that she has a new partner and they have not been able to conceive, she has 2 dcs from a previous relationship and her partner has 1 dc but they want to have a child together, I can understand it I suppose and am supportive but.
AIBU to think that scarce funding should be used for people who have
NEVER had the chance to be parents not for people who already have children even if not with their current partner.
I suppose if I was in her situation I might think differently but I cant help feeling that if she got funding someone who never had children may lose out.
Prepares to be flamed
AIBU?
To think that IVF funding should only got to people who have never had children

fwiw I think it is wrong to look for funding in your sister's situation. She and her partner should self-fund: save, another/better job, line of credit, medical loan etc. I wouldn't assist her financially or otherwise. I would offer emotional support, though.
