Document Summary

In non-traditional families and in non-traditional ways: homosexual parents, surrogacy etc, even without a penis, fallopian tubes, or a uterus, this happens due to fertility treatments. Sliding scale for ivf funding based on income: more income, less cost of ivf treatment: couples would have multiple ivf eggs inserted into females, but new guidelines states only one embryo should be transferred. In quebec lots of ivf cases had twins or triplets, very costly in hospitals: gestational surrogacy, why does someone need a surrogate, woman has no uterus, multiple miscarriages, cant support pregnancy, reproductive cancer. In canada, used for altruistic reasons: cant pay anything beyond services/expenses for surrogates, in canada you cannot pay for donor sperm. Surrogacy: motherhood, fatherhood, cost/access, exploitation, no compensation sperm surrogates. Found in zika mosquito that impedes size of fetal head: babies with smaller heads/viruses, women going to zika infected countries should wait at least 2 months to try to conceive.
