The Guardian reports on the shortage of sperm donations in the UK and its negative effects on government policy:
Government plans to make fertility treatment more accessible to single women and lesbian couples are likely to be ineffective because of a severe shortage of sperm donors, a leading fertility expert has told the Guardian.
Such people miss out because, with sperm in short supply, mainly heterosexual couples are receiving the limited supplies. One of the main ‘culprits’ in this choice of recipients is the 1990 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority Act which requires clinics offering fertility treatment to consider the welfare of the child - including the need for a father figure - before offering treatment.
This Labour government’s obsession with rights for individuals over the well-being of the most vulnerable in our society has inspired a Commons select committee to regard the 1990 Act as being ‘offensive’ to unconventional ‘families’ like single parents and single sex couples.
The government intends to encourage clinics to abandon any principles of care for the children they produce in favour of pursuit of its libertarian and insane drive for so-called equality. The drive to recreate children as lifestyle products continues.
New Labour’s Marxist contempt for family - one of the few true expressions of anti-government freedom - advances unabated and unchallenged.
