Let me start off by saying that my wife and I are unable to conceive a child. We went through the entire 2+ year long process at the clinic here in Calgary and stopped just before going through IVF as we were lucky enough to be able to adopt.
The whole argument that it should not be funded because a life in not in danger is bunk.
Will your 7 year old child die if he doesn't get those 2 stitches in his head? No.
Will your buddy die if he doesn't get a cast on his wrist after falling from his alcohol induced table dancing session? Nope.
Does the medical system pay the bill for the drunk driver that causes an accident that kills 4 people? Sure does.
But somehow many of the posters in this board feel it is fair to punish 2 people that merely want to improve their quality of life by raising another contributing member of society.
Honestly, I am too angry to type up a decent response right now. I just ask people to realize that the citizens of this country cherish our quality of life and our health care system reflects that.
