Like Mrs Boivin, I am also the mother of a Turner's girl and the conclusions you so readily "leap" to are flat out wrong. <BR/><BR/>I considered having the same procedure done and NOT because I thought it was important to have a child genetically connected to my family. Quite frankly I could care less about it. My reasons were instead:<BR/>- Financial: Finding a donor for eggs can be next to impossible not to mention the cost;<BR/>- Emotional: My daughter can not conceive and that may be something that will effect her emotionally if she really wants to simply carry a pregnancy - many women do. This could give her that chance;<BR/>- Scientific: The pregnancy has a better chance of viability if donated by a close relation.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't matter if my daughter has children, what matters is what SHE wants. Like Mrs. Boivin, I just want to give her every opportunity I can to be happy. Your article has cheapened Mrs. Boivin's painful, selfless act of love. Worse, you twisted her story into a false crusade so it would look good on your site. You should be ashamed.<BR/><BR/>D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
