Woman embryo appeal verdict due

[Pinkbanana]

Think the guy concerned will feel that he is a winner.

I cant ever have a child, cancer saw to that, but there is fostering or adoption so dont give me a lecture. I am entitled to my view just like you are entitled to yours. If we all thought the same we would be like robots.

If you had bothered to read my post properly, you will have seen that I wrote that you are entitled to your opinion (no one is saying otherwise or that we have to be like robots)... or that I was lecturing you... My issue was with the wording of your post, ie that you are PLEASED that this woman cant ever have a child. That makes you seem, in my eyes, very unsympathetic and insensitive.

Indeed PB, it's almost like us saying were glad you can't have children, it just seems a bit nasty to me, but as you say, everyone's allowed an opinion.

Snapper - this forum isn't hostile - never has been in the 2 years that I've been a member here or a mod.

Everyone IS entitled to their opinion but with an issue as sensitive as this, you have to be careful how those opinions are worded. I feel for everyone involved in this case - the woman who up until this verdict had the hope alive that she may be able to have her own biological child, whose dream has now been shattered, to the man who provided sperm to fertilise those eggs who has decided that he doesn't want any children to be borne in this manner, to other people who are undergoing treatment, knowing that the outcome will be that they will also be infertile (like you) and not be able to have their own children and to all of those couples out there who may have also had embryos frozen in the same manner, now wonder if the relationship they are in, is strong enough to last in order for them to be able to use those embryo's or whether they will end up in the same situation.

There are so many women and men out there that have problems conceiving or are infertile including members on this forum, who may have found your viewpoint on the subject about being pleased that the woman would never have her own biological children insensitive to their own problems aswell as this womans. Yes, adoption, fostering are all options and there are many children in homes around the country requiring the love of a stable family, but being pleased that a woman has gone through what she has and has now had those hopes dashed, are IMO insensitive. By all means be glad of the outcome of the verdict, but surely not pleased that another woman has been placed in the same situation as yourself with not being able to have children of her own naturally. Yes, hopefully this woman will now go on to foster or adopt, but she has to go through a grieving process, no doubt like you had to, initially, before being able to go through this very long and drawn out process.

I, personally think, that this is what the objections to your post are, but like has been said, you were voicing your opinions and the others were voicing their own views on your opinions. Many of us will not agree with what others say, some will say nothing, some will say something, but it doesn't make this forum a hostile place - its one of the friendliest forums that I have ever known, and I'm proud to be a member here.

Don't feel that you can't come here, we aren't hostile, but as you said, everyone is entitled to their opinions and I think that is exactly what has happened here - people have voiced their opinions, like you, about a very sensitive subject.
