But you don't really know there is not more money because of IVF.
As a matter of fact I do. The NHS has a fixed budget allocated according to decisions made by NICE so we know that people are dying of colonic cancer for example who could be saved by funds going into ART.

By george, I think we've got it.
km you stated "if it were my decision I'd withdraw all funding for IVF and transfer it to mainstream health priorities."
and this quote from the site you note;
Twenty-five years ago a treatment was developed - IVF - and through the intervening years it has been successfully honed and eventually accepted by mainstream medical practitioners the world over as an evidence-based option for a clinically untreatable condition.
So all is well with the world - IVF is mainstream.

You're getting confused between "mainstream medical practitioners" which is the profession at large and "mainstream health priorities" which refers to clinically treatable conditions.

I repeat: dispassionate, egocentric bigot.
Yeah, we know you are... because you couldn't care less about patients contracting killer diseases like C. difficile in hospital or those being operated on with mice running amok in theatre while other members of the Limitless Resources Society are demanding lifestyle treatments from funds that could be used to clean up the wards.
