Undergoing assisted reproductive therapy (ART) to have a child is controversial. With overpopulation causing so many problems already and will largely be the main driver of collapse of human civilization, many of kid-free folks believe that while everyone should have fewer kids, those who are naturally unable to, should simply go on with their lives. After all, there are so many things we cannot have, and we make peace with that.
Argentina, a country that I fell in love with after spending a month there, is again setting a new standard for the world to look at: whether you are single, married, gay or straight, if you want one, you will be provided with fertility treatment. Fertility rates there are on par with the US, where there is no national standard, but in states like Massachusetts, where I live, health insurance covers fertility treatments.
