“ Yet defining ART [Assisted Reproductive Technology] as a medical treatment is a bit forced, because “if you use the classic situation of a fertile woman with an infertile male spouse, she never had a fertility problem to begin with,” notes Charo. A more logical line of reasoning might be to view her as having a social, not a medical, dilemma. She does not want to have sex outside her marriage — that’s why she can’t get pregnant. Should society step in to help her? Should this be covered by insurance?
