Then all reproduction is a prideful attempt to create a child in one's own image. Why are people who don't have medical reproductive problems exempt from your judgement? Why don't you expect people who can reproduce to adopt instead? Have you had biological children? If so, why isn't that prideful, considering all the needy children you could have adopted instead?
Why did you choose to have bio children instead of adopting? Answer that question and you'll see why people do IVF.
Adoption is wonderful. But domestic adoption means a high risk of the birthmom or dad changing thier minds after you've laid out those tens of thousands of dollars (and you don't get a refund). It means a risk of making a child your own only to have the child taken away from you later on.
International adoption can be $40,000 -- MUCH more expensive than IVF. It involves giving the government access to every corner of your life. It involves giving up the idea of ever parenting a very young child -- you'll never get to see your child say his/her first words, take the first step, cut the first tooth. It's more of a crapshoot even than birth in terms of what the child has been exposed to before he/she comes to you.
You are so prideful and quick to judge, and so slow to consider the heartbreak and difficult choices involved on all sides. Until you've walked in someone else's shoes, sure, have an opinion, but don't assume their choices are so easy and cut-and-dried.
Quick to judge I may be but I don't know where you get off calling me prideful. My biological children are the result of having, gasp, intimate relations with my husband. Am I able to say with all certainty that I would not have considered IVF if we were unable to concieve? You bet your butt. I have made the anguishing mistake already of treading on God's own territory--never, ever again will I suffer from that kind of pride. In being judgemental of women making these decisions, please keep in mind--self-judgement is at the forefront. I am condemning my previous prideful actions far more than I am judging others, make no mistake about it.
