Good Morning America's Lack of Sensitivity for Infertile Couples
During a recent interview on Good Morning America, Dr. Nancy Snyderman (who is NOT a specialist in the field of reproductive medicine) made the following comment when asked about women who have a diff... continue reading »
"Don't tell thousands of infertile couples, who would be wonderful loving parents, that they don't have the right to have children of their own because of their condition, while implying that fertile, drug-using teenagers do!!!"
"I totally disagree with the made on your show about infertility and insensitive that plague our society of current infertility patients. How will the general public ever understand the problems that lots of couples in America face because of Infertility"
"happily mothering my son after 18+ months of trying"
"Are wealthier people who can afford expensive infertility treatments any more deserving to hold a baby in their arms?"
"Medically necessary? Okay, since when should a sex change operationbe considered a medically necessary operatoin, even for someone's mental health? Yet I know for a fact that Blue Cross BLue Sheild will pay for the nearly million dollar pricetag in full. "
"I really wish no one would have to go through the stresses of having a baby."
"Reading your comment on infertility was very upsetting. As a woman with tubal factor infertility (which was caused by appendicitis that resulted in scarring) I am very offended. Thank God for IVF-- still have a chance to conceive. All these insurance comp"
"I think a formal apology is necessary. I will not be watching any ABC and will encourage all of my friends who support my infertlilty struggles to do the same. Unless you are a qualified specialist (which and ENT is NOT) than you should not be commenting "
"So, if people cannot afford a heart transplant, does that mean that they do not deserve one? There is no logic in her statement. If her logic was correct, only the rich would recieve all the benefits of medical science."
"This is an outrage!! How would anyone who does not have the knowledge of what people like myself go through just to have one child be so arrogant and ignorant. Unless they know what is involved with this experience they have NO right to comment!!"
"infertility is one of the most emotionally painful conditions in existence. It should never be taken lightly or talked about in such a cruel and careless manner!"
"The comment made by this lady is totally uncalled for. She obviously has never dealt with infertility and the heartache that one experiences. Having a baby is every woman's right and it's more difficult for some than others, therefore treatment is needed."
"It is quite apparent that the so-called doctor has never experienced infertility! Shame on all of you!"
"As someone who has suffered from infertility for 15 years, I really think more education is needed for the general public. If there are options available to the fertile population (ie: tubals, vasectomy, and abortion) paid for by insurance companies, then"
