Would you inseminate yourself as a last resort? (15)
Good poll question. I know a woman of 42 who is in this situation, and she is actively undergoing treatment. My opinion: I totally understand women of a certain age who's lives will forever be missing something if they don't have kids. IVF is completely justified if you're in your early 40's and Mr Right is nowhere in sight. As long as your national Social system will be able to support you, your career will not suffer irreparable damage, and you have a supportive family behind you, I would say, "Go for it!"
Caveats: It's expensive, and there's no guarantee of success. IVF is like the proverbial box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get!
One alternative: Ask a friend if he wouldn't mind.

It seems to be coming down to that very choice of choosing a friend to be a supportive person in the process.

Totally agree.
Another option is the classic 'one-night-stand', but this is hit and miss and the timing has to be right. It also carries inherent health risks to both mother and child... STD's.
A take home, defrost, insert and cook for nine months is a long way off methinks.
Good luck to you.

Its a very difficult question to answer i guess one has to be in that situation ......i personally have recommended it to friends in their 40s who have no kids.....the only thing is that i guess its tough for a kid to never know who his her father is ...but i guess there are lots of kids who are not a prod of artificial insemination who dont know their fathers and others that live in trad families and live in horrible circumstances so i guess in the end the what counts in taking this decision is whether the kid is going to be loved and well taken care of if so go ahead......

Technically I see nothing wrong with it, it's done in dog breeding quite frequently! I just hope the women choose the "sire" well! 
Another question is - who will she raise the child with? Wise men say that children, both boys and girls, do need BOTH parents cos a boy learns from his Dad to be the kind of person that receives such respect and consideration from a woman, and vice versa - girls learn to be like their mother in order to be so loved and cared for in the future...

Stockholm76: It seems to be coming down to that very choice of choosing a friend to be a supportive person in the process.
Dana Scully and Fox Mulder went through this scenario; I would not recommend such stressful lives as theirs for this this also seems to be the easiest solution for many lesbians, to pick one their male friends or a male that is highly talented in some field of interest to them ...

Stockholm76: Would you take the step as a last resort to inseminate yourself in order to satisfy your longing to have a family? Is it justified morally and socially or is it just desperate or it is just selfish?
I want to know what women think and men for that matter since I have experienced that there is a large population single that are in the same sits as me. Been in long relationships and with serious people but timing was off to start a family, then dating again to find true love only finding the fish of the bottom or those hot fish that just seem to care about their careers and one night stands are all they have energy for.
When the clock is ticking I am finding that I cannot wait to find mister right. A well educated, fairly attractive, generous and caring woman, is this what live boils down to after being single for so long?
I don't know much about this. If it's free and you see who it's coming from then I'd go for it.I want to know what women think and men for that matter since I have experienced that there is a large population single that are in the same sits as me.

Otherwise, I'd bag myself a looker and have a one night stand

As a single mother, I loved the choice I made. Coming from a large family myself, with lots of anger is not the best way to raise children. My daughter was not raised with fear and rage of others. We had a few moments but no violence. This world is a better place because she is in it.
When I gave birth to this child, I knew she was only going to be with me for a short time. Her life is far away from me but she is always in my heart. No grandchildren yet so no reason for me to relocate yet.

I inseminate myself on average 3 times per week but I've just met a nice girl and hopefully this will change!

Can't inseminate myself, I have the wrong equipment. But I suppose this is the way some folks see immortality. Keep passing on the genes.

I think if I really wanted a child, could give him or her a good home, and I am doing it because I want to give that child my unconditional love, I say its perfectly alright. Why wait for the right guy; you could be waiting for years and still not find the right guy. Who says you have to have a guy to raise a child anyways? Gone are those old fashioned ideas of having two parents or having to marry some yutz just to have a child. I think if you feel good about this choice; then do it and I wish you the best of luck with it.
