Social attitudes are often critical of whether these women should receive assisted reproductive technologies. These attitudes include blame for choosing to “have it all” with a career and a family, ridicule of older women becoming mothers, and views about the inappropriate use of health resources in support of supposed lifestyle choices.

Neither choice nor natural aging can be defended as a ground on which to distinguish between older and younger women with respect to the receipt of care. |
