Title: mandatory reading for those considering fertility treatments
Product review: The book is good for what it is: a description of how two supposedly intelligent people chose to put themselves through great physical and emotional pain because they wanted to make a baby. This book should be required reading for anyone considering fertility treatments.For every fertility treatment that works for one couple, there are many more disappointed would-be parents. People with strong emotional fixations about bearing their "own" child (rather than adopting) can easily mislead themselves about the costs -- financial, personal, relationship -- involved with fertility procedures.Unlike some other reviewers, I don't particularly admire this couple. They chose this path -- nobody forced them. Complaining is a cop-out that lets them blame others for the choices that they themselves made. "Buyer beware" applies to medical care as much as anything else.
